Shilpa Shetty case and Judicial Indecency

Do you think that the issuance of arrest warrant for Hollywood actor Richard Gere for landing a peck on the cheeks of Shilpa Shetty is a case of Judicial Indecency?

not at all .. these westerners need to be taught a lesson and given a warning ... that is what is being done here . they think they are God's gift to mankind ..of coure bollywoood actresses encourage it in many ways .. same with west indian cricketers .. In this case , Gere was way out of line .. he claims to be a spokesperson or whatever for the Dalai llama .... ha .my respect from him as plummeted ..his standing in the world should go down similarly ..its a good stand Indian judicialry has taken ...may have gone too far pehaps ...we may look old fashioned ...or even hypocritical ....but its necessary .

I think it's ridiculous! Why don't the people see the bigger issue (AIDS awareness) rather than waste their time over all this hype over something which is no big deal!! Love Divya

Was it really a kiss or lip lock ? It was a friendly on the spur of the moment peck. What are these so called upkeepers of morality (and the judge) doing about the indecent exposure in bollywood films and music videos ?

At last! I finally agree with Richard Gere on something--Shilpa is beautiful.

first that was not a peck! second, i believe that anyone except ms. shetty should be indifferent. if she has a problem, let her go to court if she doesn't have a problem, let her give Gere a dozen kisses in return where do rest of us come in the picture? and the ridiculous part is bringing in west-east/us-them issues

well everyone wants their 15 secs of fame. Its become a habit off late to make mountains outta molehills. This is another case of the same category. Rather than goin on with this crap the judiciary should look out on other important cases involving domestic violence, rape, dowry deaths. But no, wud that give the judge any kinda publicity?!?! This is all plain BS!! n it dosentt get any more ridiculous. I mean the court is acting as tho this is some case of National Importance. We all kno Shilpa Shetty, she's no doodh se dhuli!! she seems to be enjoying the so called "kiss" as can be seen from the pic. so its a case of consenting adults isnt it

Pretty hard to answer Yes or No. Firstly, Gere did go overboard in display of affection or whatsoever. One has to respect & follow the social norms of life where they are...! Secondly, Shilpa , IMHO, is not worth a penny to be noticed. Never known for great acting skills struck a goldpot thru Big Bro and has had her luck galloped. thats it. staying in limelight for some or other reason, flashing colgate smiles is the only business for such "tinpat" girls. Next, people demonstrating against this issue, are they talking abt the disease spread thru society ? How abt human trafficiking where a MP is caught ? There are also lot more things to be talked abt.

Shilpa-Gere chumban vivad par utha baval vajib hai.Hamari sanskruti is baat ki ejaajat nahi deti ki band kamre me ki janewali harkat ko sararvjanik pradharshan ki vishayvastu banaya jaay.Ghar ki chaardivari me bhi pati-patni ke sambhand maryada ki paridhi me hi rahate hai/Prem sambandon mein bhi Bhartiya Sanskruti Ashlilta ki Ijaajat nahi deti. Haalanki Shilp-Gere ne vyavsayik duniya ke Niti-Nirdhark Tatyo ka paripalan hi kiya hai,Lekin unhe shochana chahiye tha ki karaykram koun sa hai? isaka sandesh kya jayega? Ads ke khilaf sandesh denewale is program me aap uske khilaf sandesh de rahe hai,kitni sharmnaak baat hai?Aaap desh ke ek jimmedar nagrik hai kya yah bhiaapko batana hoga? Gere to Videshi the,Shilpa chaahe to is beja harkat ke liye Gere ko lataad sakti the.Lekin usne Yesa na karke lagaatar usake pakha mein me hi bayaan diya.jo thik nahi hai.Charitrik patan ki parakastha hai yah. Mere vichaar se liya gaya kadam uchit hai.

Aww, c'mon, there are far more important issues which deserve the limelight than a superstar's kiss or peck - promotional as it seems to be - whatever it is! Besides Hollywood actors and actresses will behave 'Hollywood' wherever they are. That goes for other personalities in different countries where they have gotten used to certain types or forms of staged public behavior. It happens here. That's why they call it 'showbiz' -- it's all for show and bizniz. lol And all that makes me go eeeyuckk!! So what's the fuss! :-)) How bout we talk on.... global warming, dirty politicians in government, the hungry in Africa, poverty in our respective countries, etc etc. We serve the world better by promoting awareness on those global issues. And who knows, maybe a rare specie of a good politician will chance upon this discussion board and be nudged in the right direction and agenda.

OWWWWWWWWWWWW, I am incensed! How could you do it, Shilpa, my dahhling? Why did you foresake ME! :( And Gere...do you want all our women? Come on, go ahead...take their 'sans' away, pay for your 'kriti', but beware: we will chase you with our 'sanskriti' Yes, we want compensation. How about 121 billion dollars to pay off our national debt? NOW!!!

Samrat said…
Better put you energies into something that concerns the nation, not these inconsequential actors and actresses.

RAY said…
I think this is a case of SOUR GRAPES. I am quite sure the lawyer who filed the suit is extremly jealous of Gere.

Shilpa Shetty wants to be in news and the Hollywood now knows it. Richard Gere aided her desire with a big kiss and romantic bending hug which can be considered OK if it was a movie shot.....as it happens in cinema sets. When it is in the public domain, I don't think you can ignore it. If that is the case, media should have ignored it without showing it to the whole country. None seem to question the idiotism played by our juvenaile Indian media.........Left to them they could kill the Indian culture much faster in 20 years itself, than what we preserved during British rule or earlier.
