Will Smith jets to India to practice meditation to reflect on his behaviour after slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars
TROUBLED actor Will Smith has flown to India for “spiritual purposes” — one month after he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars.
The star, 53, headed half way round the world to find himself and reflect after being hit with a decade ban on attending the ceremony by furious Academy bosses.
Smith is understood to have been keen to take a month out to “practice yoga and meditation”.
He previously said he is committed to changing his behaviour so he never lashes out again.
He stormed on stage and slapped Chris Rock, 57, at the LA event after the comedian made a joke about Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair.
Jada, 50, suffers from alopecia.

Smith has since kept a low profile amid fears his career could be over.
The dad-of-two admitted his actions were “shocking, painful and inexcusable” before resigning from the Academy.

Earlier this week Jada, who has remained silent over the incident, confirmed she would address it in her online show Red Table Talk.
A message at the start of the latest episode read: “The Smith family has been focusing on deep healing. Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared when the time calls.”
