Natalie Portman Goes Desi Again

July 26 2008 22:10 PST

Hollywood actress Natalie Portman embraced Indian culture before for the film, New York I Love You, in which she marries Irfan Khan in a full bridal outfit. Well now she's done it again in her boyfriend, Devendra Banhart's music video, Carmensita. Now it's meant to poke fun at Bollywood, but it looks more like a spin on the religious Hindu story, the Ramayan.

Either way it seems like Natalie has a thing for the Indian culture but you can't really blame her, it is pretty great! But what are your thoughts on the video?... Check out the music video and picture from New York I Love You below.

I think the video was fun to make. But it's not really fun to watch. Really corny! As bad as an 80s Bollywood movie with some C-star in it!

Video could be much better. But its kool to see other people to embrace our culture.
