I think you are all aware of the Kiss of Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty,The Big Brother show winner..
The incident was like this...
They were attending an aids awareness programme in jaipur in India. In the middle of the programme Gere praised her for her activities and also her success in the Big Brother show.He kissed her in the stage.
The result was very bad...
The programme evoked strong protests all over India ...
Now The court has issued arrest warrent against both of them...
In India its not considered as good thing to kiss poblicily.
What you think about the incident .
Is there any need for an arrest warrant against them for this...
I think there is a lot to discuss on this....

This became an issue only because it happened in India.Well i am not here to justify kissing.
But i think it is their freedom to do whatever they want-let it be in public or private.They can do things in public as far as it doesnt destroy the morality of the society.

Well,in my opinion, i think it was unresponsible and unnecessary for Gere to kiss Shilpa in public, most especially that they were in India. He should respect the tradition or culture in India it's not acceptable for them to kiss in public. Maybe his act would be normal or common in the U.S but he should have considered the place and situation he's in before doing such act.

I don't know exactly how I feel about this. I mean on one hand I don't see the big deal. But then they are in a country where this is frowned upon and you would just think that they would have been aware of that. I hope that they really don't arrest them in the end. I don't think it was meant to be other than a light moment between two people in a joking manner.

I saw it on the new last week and i am shocked with what Gere had done. But why arrest Shilpa with Gere. If i were Shilpa i would have been insulted with a kiss like that. But then again it all happened in India if it happened here in the Philippines and Shilpa were a Filipina, She will become very famous.
