Starlets from United Kingdom are reportedly "invading" Bollywood for better opportunities, less competition and higher payout.

According to reports, about 1, 000 British actresses-dancers are working in Bollywood, with each making around $1700 a day. British recession, high Bollywood demand for white skin, Slumdog factor, too much competition in United Kingdom, are reportedly some of the reasons of this invasion.

Most of the time, these starlets are cast as background or side dancers showing bare white skin, because they reportedly show no qualms about displaying skin or appearing in steamier roles as compared to their Indian counterparts.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, strongly criticized the Bollywood filmmakers for attempting to change the cultural milieu of the country by just using the color and skin of the foreign starlets and for attempting to push the moral boundaries.

United Kingdom had produced great actresses like Audrey Hepburn (Roman Holiday), Glenda Jackson (A Touch of Class), Elizabeth Taylor (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), Vanessa Redgrave (Howards End), etc., and Bollywood filmmakers should better utilize the acting talent of these British starlets than just exposing their white skin for mercantile greed, Rajan Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, argued.
