I want to send more money says Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton hit headlines during her visit to the country for her generosity towards a Mumbai beggar, whom the American heiress had given a $100 note while on a trip to the country. 

Paris, who was in India from September 24-27, was on her way to a mall on Sunday, when she spotted Ishika, a beggar in Mumbai's Andheri area, and gave her a $100 note. After that, Paris tweeted about helping people in India, and had asked for suggestions about charities that she could associate with.

But, as news broke out on Wednesday about Ishika losing the money due to a petty squabble in her family, Paris once again took to twitter to reach out to Ishika. It was reported that after Ishika realised that she'd been given a "dollar" by the foreigner, she gave it to her brother-in-law for getting it converted to Indian currency, but as soon as her relatives got to know of the money she'd got, they all started troubling her brother-in-law for a share. Enraged by their reaction, he tore the note up, without realising its value. After the news was printed in an Indian daily, Paris took to her micro blogging page on Wednesday evening, and said, "How can I reach this woman & send her even more in her currency? Can whoever interviewed her tweet me please?"
