Kolkata, December 13: Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan got a taste of Indian culture during her recent visit to the city as she ate `kachuri` and went away wearing the traditional Indian `bindi`. Her only complaint, however, was those of mosquito-bites.
“Lohan got excited on seeing a small girl wearing a bindi and asked if she could also wear it. Then one of the children placed it on her forehead,” a source present on the spot told reporters.
Dressed in a black sleeveless top, black tights and knee -length black boots, Lohan kept wearing the red-colured `bindi` till she slipped into her car.
The `Mean Girls` actress had visited the inmates of `Sanlaap`, an NGO at Narendrapur, on the outskirts of the city Friday, to shoot for a BBC documentary on child trafficking.
Lohan, once famous for her hook-ups, alcohol and drug addictions, was so engrossed in listening to the heart- wrenching tales of trafficking victims that she even forgot to have her lunch.
“Minutes before going away, she realised that she hasn`t eaten her food. Then she quickly ate some locally-made cookies, sandwiches and khasta-kachuris,” he said.
Although she described her visit to the NGO as the best moment of her lifetime, the 23-year-old actress had one complaint – mosquito-bites.
