Richard Gere and SHilpa SHetty were chief guests at am AIDS awareness program in New Delhi. Shilpa first pulled Richard onto the stage by holding his hand and never letting it go. Then after she said a few words into the microphone, Richard Gere caught hold of her and gave her a big hug and without letting her go started kissing her all over her face.
This was in front of the whole public consisting mainly of truck drivers. I am sure they must have enjoyed every moment of it.
Maybe the couple was practically displaying the fact that AIDS cannot be transmitted by hugging and kissing.
Anyway this is India, and I am sure many people will start taking out morchas and demanding that the couple apologize. I am sure many lawyers may be smacking their lips and preparing all kinds of civil suits.
In my humble opinion, I think Richard Gere went over board. Even though SHilpa SHetty is trying to defend him I am sure, in her heart she herself was quite shocked with Richard's behaviorm.
Anyways Richard seems a good man and is doing a lot to promote AIDS awareness in India. Maybe this little kissing incedent should be forgotten for the greater good.
