Gere faces Indian arrest warrant: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6596163.stm Gere apologises over Shetty kiss: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6600839.stm
Quote:
Actor Richard Gere has apologised for causing offence when he kissed Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.
The incident, at an Aids awareness event in Delhi, prompted public protests and then an arrest warrant for both stars over the "obscene act".
Quote:
A judge had ordered Shetty to appear in his court on 5 May, saying she did nothing to resist the kiss, which he called "highly sexually erotic".
Quote:
Photographs of the clinch were splashed across front pages of newspapers in India.
Public displays of affection are still largely taboo in India, and protestors in Mumbai (Bombay) set fire to effigies of Gere following the incident.
Quote:
Under Indian law, a person convicted of public obscenity faces up to three months in prison, a fine or both.
I understand their culture is very different from ours but jesus.. Richard Gere should be stoned though..just for being Richard Gere.

Thats so silly! I heard about this too, doesnt make sense cause they honor sexuality with the karma sutra book. But hey, different culture backgrounds make a difference. THEY'RE ALL FREAKIN OUT! Bollywood & Hollywood, its all the same. And India is like another America. Huge population too.
I can kick that dot head's ass!
