Kim Kardashian bats for clemency, pleads to Biden
When reality television star Kim Kardashian is not being chased by the paparazzi, she likes to work towards making society inclusive.
Reality TV personality Kim Kardashian cried after watching Lion — a story of an Indian boy — and has urged everyone to see the film.
"Wow I just watched the movie 'Lion' and cried for the past few hours. If you haven't seen it please do. It's beyond sad," Kim tweeted on Saturday.
Set in India and Australia, Lion had bagged six nominations this year at the Oscars with Indian-origin British actor Dev Patel in contention for Best Actor in a Supporting Role trophy for the film.
