There are reports that Shilpa Shetty is to be arrested and prosecuted for the kiss that she was given by Richard Gere. I don't think that it is fair that she should be persecuted for the actions of Gere, what are your views?

I think that's ridiculous, I don't see why she should be punished for something she had no control over. I actually don't really see what all the fuss is about anyway, if Richard Gere wanted to kiss me, I certainly wouldn't complain!

dorypanda, you would not complain because it is acceptable to your culture. But India is more conservative in these things.As one of my myLot friends told in a similar discussion started by her "while in Rome do as the Romans do"

Ah, I see, although I don't understand why they would arrest her, when she didn't do anything wrong, it would be rather difficult to stop a man of his build and size from kissing her.

Thank you dorypanda for your comments, although I wouldn't want him to kiss me lol. I really do agree also that different cultures see these acts in different ways. I am married to an Asian (Filipina) and I sometimes struggle with the differences in culture although the Philippine culture is a little more westernised than in India and I do try to understand and uphold the beliefs of their country when I am there. I am sure that the outcome will be best for all concerned, especially bearing in mind that Shilpa is wanting to make a break into the UK market which will of course be of benefit to India, albeit may be indirectly.
