Miss Universe Olivia Culpo called her recent photo shoot at the Taj Mahal "spontaneous" and expressed regret at the offense it has caused.

"I mean, I'm an employee of the Miss Universe organization and following directions given to me. I guess their vision was, 'What's better to identify India than the Taj Mahal?' But unfortunately it's something that was highly offensive. Honestly, I did say out loud at one point, 'Isn't this a little inappropriate?'"
