Indian High Court Put off Arrest Warrant against Richard Gere for Kissing Shilpa Shetty

Hollywood actor Richard Gere is now free from an arrest warrant, issued against him by an Indian court last year, following a kissing controversy. The warrant has recently been put off by Indian High Court. The actor is expected to visit Tibetan Buddhist leader, Dalai Lama next week. Dalai Lama is currently residing in a city of Northern India.

A case was filed against Richard Gere and Indian actress Shilpa Shetty, accusing them of obscenity, following a kissing scene involving the two sparked a huge protest across the country. Then an Indian court issued arrest warrant against Richard Gere, who is also an AIDS activist, for breaching the obscenity law in the country. Shilpa Shetty was also summoned by the court.

AFP reported:

"There can be no arrest," Indira Jaising, Gere's Indian lawyer, told AFP. "He can come and go when he wants to."

Gere, who is also an AIDS activist, tightly clasped Shetty -- winner of Britain's Celebrity Big Brother reality show -- and planted kisses on her cheek in front of gaping Indian truck drivers at an awareness event in Rajasthan.

The incident last April was aired repeatedly on television and triggered a firestorm in India, where chaste public behaviour is a stern tradition, despite Bollywood's sexually suggestive song-and-dance routines.

Because of that arrest warrant, India was faced criticism internationally. Shetty also criticized the arrest warrant later on. Then Gere apologized for what he did with Shilpa Shetty and immediately after the warrant, the popular Hollywood actor left the country. Now, everyone wants to see the end of this controversy permanently.

Indian High Court Put off Arrest Warrant against Richard Gere for Last Year’s Kissing Controversy

Was Richard Gere Really Guilty for the Kissing to Shilpa Shetty?

The controversy over the open kissing between Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty has already been a hot news in India. The incident created a flurry of protests in India. Recently an arrest warrant has also been sent to Richard Gere and a summons has given to Shilpa Shetty asking her to present before the court on 5 May.

The Jaipur court has given both the order. Earlier, an advocate from Jaipur, Poonam Chand Bhandari, filed an obscenity kiss of the two actors. The court has also found guilty over the matter as saying the incident was sexually erotic. However, Pooja Bedi, a popular television personality, has recently said in a television program named “Kiss And Tel” that kissing or hugging in public can not go with obscenity; rather it should be found out whether the kissing or hugging indicates affection or obscenity. Shilpa Shetty said that she does not have any problem with the kissing with Richard Gere. So, according to Pooja Bedi, there is nothing to be object able over the matter. IBN Live reported:

When asked to Pooja Bedi that can Indians see people kiss each other in public, she said, “I just want to say one thing at the beginning I love the witticism but the issue is so much more deeper and grave than that. This moral policing has to stop. You look at operation majnu Meerut where they attacked couple for just being together. In a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai where couples are hauled up for hugging each other and holding each other. What have we come to? I don’t think it’s a voice a majority.”

“I don’t think there is anything wrong in showing affection in hugging someone showing that you love somebody. There is difference between affection and obscenity like you have to do a lip lock or tongue kissing may be that something too much to digest but if a person being affectionate, I think nothing wrong in that,” she added.

But who decides what is affection when does it cross over to obscenity who decides that a kiss is ok a hug is fine or a lip lock is not.

Well, I think, Indian culture and tradition do not go with having private affair in public. Richard Gere might not have any knowledge regarding the Indian culture. Moreover, I agree with Pooja that as Shilpa Shetty does not complain for the kissing then it is baseless to make the incident bigger.

After Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty, Aishwarya Rai with Kissing Controversy

I have earlier posted some articles on the open kissing of Ricahrd Gere and Shilpa Shetty at a charity event for HIV/AIDS campaign. The issue has created a huge uproar in the media and made people crazy regarding the incident. Even an Indian court has already sent arrest warrant for both the actors. Now, another kissing incident is in the lime light. The last year hit movie Dhoom 2 has screened a kissing scene between Aishearya Rai and Hrithik Roshan. Recently Aishwarya Rai has been given a summon asking her to appear before the court over the issue. Gulf Times reported:

Rai was ordered to appear before a district court over a scene in which she is kissed lightly on the cheek.
Her Dhoom-II co-star Hrithik Roshan and the owners of a cinema which screened the action film have also been summoned to Muzaffarpur court in the eastern state of Bihar on May 30.
“The court also sent notices to the Bihar government for allowing screening of the film despite its ‘obscene’ content,” a court official said.
He said the judge handed out the orders after a lawyer argued the film “offended public sensibility.”
The 33-year-old Rai, who was crowned Miss World in 1994 and married Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan last week, has not responded to the court order, government officials said in the state capital Patna.

Moreover, a notice was also given to Bihar government as the scene was screened in Bihar. Aishwarya Rai has got married to Abhishek Bachchan last week though a very private affair with the presence of some selective guests in the Bachchan house Prateeksha. Now, it is yet to see how Aishwarya Rai will face the situation.

Richard Gere Understands His Guilty with the Kissing Controversy with Shilpa Shetty

Richard Gere has al last apologized for the kissing incident that he made at an anti-AIDS campaign. He has recently said that he could not understand the Indian custom and he feels sorry for this unintentional matter. Mr. Gere also called for the media circus over the matter. The Jaipur court of India has issued an arrest warrant for Richard Gere for violating the obscenity law of India. Enjoy France reported:

Richard Gere said he hadn’t understood the Indian customs regarding such matters and that he regretted any problems he had caused for Shilpa Shetty by his action.

Richard Gere also asked for an end to the "media circus" over it and said he hoped it would not detract from the very important message of preventing HIV/AIDS.

A judge had ordered Shilpa Shetty to appear in his court on 5 May, claiming the actress did nothing to stop the kiss, which he described as "highly sexually erotic," but Richard Gere is reported to have said it was not Shilpa Shetty’s fault.

And Shilpa Shetty sprang to Richard Gere’s defence and said he acted "in good humour" at the time it happened.

I think whatever Mr. Gere did, he did not do it intentionally but he should have had an overall idea regarding the Indian culture before involving in such a sensitive matter.

Shilpa Shetty to Buy a House and Initiate a Chain Restaurant in UK

Shilpa Shetty is going to introduce a chain restaurant in UK named "Shilpa Shetty Dining Hall". The restaurant would be an Indian curry house. Moreover, Shilpa Shetty has recently been reported that she is going to buy a house in UK so that from now on she can stay in her own house in UK. After winning the reality television show, Celebrity Big Brother, she has been a popular figure in UK. Now, she is getting many offers in UK. That is why; she is now a regular passenger to UK. The Times of India reported:

The Bollywood actress hit global headlines after she was bullied and insulted by some of the Big Brother housemates, triggering allegations of racial abuse.

Encouraged by her popularity in Britain, Shetty is also reported to be buying a house in an expensive north London neighbourhood as well as setting up the restaurants, the Mumbai Mirror said.

The curry chain will be called "Shilpa Shetty Dining Hall" and will have branches across the country.

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty had a lot of potential when she first got into Bollywood movie through the movie Baazigar for which she won Filmfare Best Debut Award. However, she could not flourish her carrier according to her caliber. Earlier this year, she again came into lime light begin racially abused by some of her reality television show housemates. The incident created a huge uproar in India as well as in England and she eventually won the show. In the last week, she created another controversy being engaged in an open kissing with Hollywood actor Richard Gere at a charity event promoting HIV/AIDS. For the incident, Jaipur court has recently sent a arrest warrant to both the actors.

I think, the year 2007 would be an eventful year for this talented actress. However, she needs to avoid the controversies like the open kissing that might decrease her popularity in India.

Richared Gere Doesn’t Bother to the Arrest Warrant of the Court

Richard Gere does not bother to the arrest order of himself sent by the Jaipur court of India for his kissing scandal to Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. In the last week, Gere kissed Shilpa Shetty at an event promoting awareness for HIV/AIDS. He kissed on her cheek which flicked a lot of protests in India. However, Mr. Gere said that he did not do anything which can cause such warrant to him. RTE Entertainment reported:

In an interview on Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show With Jon Stewart', he said "Me kissing the girl on the cheek was nothing."

He dismissed the charge, saying "There is a very small right-wing, very conservative political party in India and they are the moral police in India ... they do this kind of thing quite often."

"It goes to a reputable court and it gets thrown out," he continued.

I think Richard Gere does not have any idea regarding the Indian culture. In India open kissing is regarded as obscenity and the country posses some law regarding obscenity. The court has issued warrant to the two actors for breaking the obscenity law of India.

The incident, in New Delhi earlier this month when Richard Gere kissed Shilpa Shetty on the cheeks in good humour at a charity event promoting AIDS awareness, created a huge furore. The two have been charged of obscenity in public under 294 IPC.

The magistrate, Dinesh Gupta, reacting to a private complaint filed by advocate Poonam Chand Bhandari, watched a CD of the AIDS awareness function as shown by a TV channel, to pronounce that the act was "sexually erotic" and "indecent".

Kissing publicly is not allowed in Indian culture which is a very common thing in Hollywood. So, Mr. Gere might have not any idea about the sensitive matter. Now, it is yet to see to what extent the two actors would cost for the kissing incident.

Richard Gere Apologizes for His Kissing to Shilpa Shetty on Public

Hollywood actor Richard Gere has recently apologized to the people of India for his on stage kissing to Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. The incident occurred in an event arranged for increasing awareness against HIV/AIDS. Soon after the public kissing, the whole India protested against it as the incident does not go with Indian culture.

The issue even has already taken in to the court and recently the court of Jaipur issued summons of arrest warrant for both Richard Gere and Shilpa Sheety for breaking obscenity law in India. Having seen such a storm over the incident, Richard Gere has recently apologized for the incident. ABC News reported:

"What is most important to me is that my intentions as an HIV/AIDS advocate be made clear, and that my friends in India understand that it has never been, nor could it ever be, my intention to offend you," Gere said in statement issued by the Heroes Project, an organization the 57-year-old actor co-founded to combat AIDS in India.

"If that has happened, of course it is easy for me to offer a sincere apology," he said.

The embrace, in front of about 4,000 truckers, was a failed parody of a move from Gere's film "Shall We Dance," and "a naive misread of Indian customs," he said.

In Indian culture, open kissing is not allowed and they do not even like to disclose their private affair in public. Richard Gere might not have known about the Indian culture. However, one should have an overall idea regarding the culture of a county before doing anything sensitive in the county.
