Paris Hilton may be developing a conscience, said TMZ.com. While in Mumbai, India, last week to launch a chain of stores, the heiress asked the driver of her SUV to pull over so that she could hand a $100 bill to a poor woman carrying a baby. She later gave away $2,000 to other people on the street. “India is beautiful, but some parts are very poverty stricken,” she later tweeted. “Broke my heart to see babies sleeping on the streets.”
