Mumbai Trashes Hurley-Nayar


MUMBAI, India — Mumbai residents had a message for Elizabeth Hurley and new hubby Arun Nayar - get off our beach. City hall agreed, demolishing a wooden deck that had been built for a party to honor the couple.

Workers cleared away the makeshift platform that extended from a beach-front home onto the popular Juhu beach just before the party late Tuesday, said Civic Councilor Adolf D’souza. A smaller platform on the beach was permitted, said T. Sonpar, coordinator of the Juhu Citizens Welfare Group.

“Juhu beach belongs to the public and illegal constructions and extensions onto the beach are not permitted,” he said Wednesday.

The hosts, Indian industrialist Adi Godrej and his wife, Parmeshwar Godrej, could not be reached for comment, but residents said the private dinner party went on as scheduled.

“The rich and famous usually get away with this. But this time at least action was taken and the extension on the beach was reduced,” said Sonpar, who lodged complaints with police and civic officials.

Yeahhhhhh, Mumbai residents sticking it to the stars. Classic. Oh, and that kid looks like his fug dad. Let's hope he looks more and more like his mother every day.
