Bollywood actor Raveena Tandon recently corrected the American news channel ABC news when they called the namaste a 'prayer-like gesture'. They were talking about the namaste as it was used by Prince Charles during one of his public events.
Sharing a video of Prince Charles, ABC had tweeted, “Prince Charles offered a handshake before quickly changing his mind and instead of greeting guests at the Prince’s Trust Awards with a prayer-like gesture to avoid contact amid coronavirus concern.”Retweeting the tweet, Raveena wrote, “It’s a “Namaste”. Do some homework @ABC.”
