Willing to go extra mile for inner peace, you might want to look up to Will Smith for this matter. Post one month after the Oscars slapping incident, Will Smith has since received a lot of support and hate speech. These overwhelming reactions from various sides and people around the world were alleged to be the main reason why he flew to India. The Oscars winner was spotted for the first time in public after the incident at a private airport in Mumbai, India. Will was encountered by the paparazzi who have been waiting for his arrival and he flashed a smile for photos.
According to a source from PEOPLE, Will Smith traveled to India for binding a spiritual quest that involved meditation and yoga. The root of this traveling could be traced back a day after the Oscars slapping incident blew up. Will then released a statement saying that he deeply apologized for his “shocking, painful, and inexcusable” behavior. He “reacted emotionally” because the joke that Chris Rock threw about Jada’s condition was too much for him to bear.
Not long after that, Will Smith with all due respect decided to resign from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, as the hostess of the Oscars. The Academy excluded Will Smith from attending its prestigious event for the next 10 years.
“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home. I betrayed the trust of the Academy.”
Will later finalized his statement by saying that to make a change, time must be sacrificed. He is committed to never again letting his emotions go out of hand and such degrading behavior happen again.
Just like people in general, the mighty one may accidentally slip and fall, the point is we all know that the only way is up and rise again. Keep fighting, Will Smith! Don’t forget to visit BookMyShow for more up-to-date news about films, series, music, celebrities, and more entertaining sources!
