Selena Gomez’s performance at this year’s MTV Movie Awards is causing a lot of talk, some of it not positive!

While performing her new single “Come And Get It,” Gomez donned some Bollywood-style attire complete with a bindi on her forehead. Now, Hindu leaders are enraged and claim that Gomez disrespected the Hindu religion by using the bindi as nothing more than a fashion accessory.

The bindi is an important tradition in Hinduism. It is also referred to as the third eye or the flame and has a religious significance, which Hindu leaders believe has been disrespected by Gomez’s seductive dance moves.

They are demanding that Gomez apologise and not use it again in the future especially since she has a world tour coming up soon. Twitter users have also chimed up about Selena’s “cultural appropriation,” but Selena herself has yet to make a comment.

Do you think Selena should have done more research into Hinduism before using the bindi or do you think people are just overreacting? Voice your comments over on our Facebook or Twitter!
