Shilpa Shetty is [1] front-page news again, this time for being on the receiving end of some serious lovin’.
Shetty joined Richard Gere at [2] Seena Taan Ke yesterday, an AIDS awareness event in Delhi. The stars, speaking to members of India’s truckdriver community, dispelled the myth that HIV can be transmitted through the act of kissing. Gere, who looked “dizzy” according to [3] some reports, made his point by, er, smothering the [4] Celebrity Big Brother star.
Shetty was visibly uncomfortable and told the audience so (“Yeh thoda zyaada ho gaya,” she said: “This was a bit much”).
Many agreed and are now seeking an apology from Gere. Yesterday afternoon protestors in Mumbai burned the actor [5] in effigy, while in [6] Varanasi crowds gathered, chanting “down with Shilpa Shetty.”
