Seems
like
Shilpa
Shetty
can't
stay
away
from
controversies
for
long.
After
the
racial
discrimination
controversy
on
the
reality
show
Big
Brother
in
UK,
Shilpa
got
stuck
again
in
another
controversy,
this
time
in
Delhi.
During
an
AIDS
awareness
programme
organized
in
Delhi
for
truck
drivers,
Hollywood
actor
Richard
Gere
kissed
Shilpa
Shetty
on
her
cheek
while
entertaining
the
masses
doing
a
dance
number.
Gere
caught
in
the
moment
thought
it
would
be
fun
for
the
audiences
but
incident
gave
rise
to
a
big
controversy
with
political
parties
saying
that
such
behaviour
is
an
attack
on
India's
cultural
ethos.
The issue saw some scary after effects when effigies of Shilpa and Richard were burnt at many places across India. If that was not all, Shilpa Shetty's shoot for her film Metro in New Mumbai was stalled when some protestors from some political party reached the sets and interrupted the shoot.
Shilpa Shetty however, is firm on her stand and says that she won't apologise. She is of the opinion that there was nothing wrong with Richard Gere kissing her because his intentions weren't wrong; he just did that to entertain the masses. Besides, he just kissed on her cheek and nothing wrong has happened to her. It's not like Richard did "Vastra Haran". Shilpa says that she is someone who lives her life with dignity. Besides, Richard has been working for creating AIDS awareness in India for nine years and this is not how he should be treated.
Shilpa mentions that after the incident, Richard has called her three times to apologise and that he is extremely worried about the situation. She says that Richard is a guest in our country and this is not how we treat our guests.
Shilpa Shetty's next release will be Anurag Basu's Metro. The film stars Shiny Ahuja, Kay Kay Menon, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kangana Ranaut and Irrfan Khan. After that she will also be seen in Anil Sharma's Apne which stars Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.
