I'm just curious because everyone seems to think that burning effigies of Richard is overreaction. Do you think that if Shilpa sued him for sexual harassment it would be appropriate or overreaction again? It seems that the kissing was uninvited from the video footage and Shilpa (no matter how much she's trying to cover for Richard now) seemed shocked and unprepared to be accosted in public. I am speculating that the only reason Shilpa did not push him away was because she's hoping for a Hollywood movie role in the future. What would you have done (if you are a girl) and should she sue him for sexual harassment?

Rick Gere - ugh! I would hot foot it to the closest source of water and wash my lips, face, arms, anything he touched.
Yuck!

Sexual harassment is unwelcome behavior. Shilpa seemed fine with it. It is only the Indian culture that is making a huge deal of this. I remember a few years ago when Adrian BRody kissed Halle Berry at the Oscars and really made out with her. I didn't see African Americans protesting over it. It is what it is. Perhaps he regrets it, but he was being lighthearted and took it to a place that offended some people. Shilpa seems to want people to focus on AIDS awareness, rather than Richard Gere's actions. He made a cultural faux pas. I don't think he realized it was inappropriate. That's why it's important to learn from other cultures. Burning him in effigy solves nothing.

Richard Gere kissing Shilpa Shetty is definitely not a case of sexual harassment, it is a sign of affection. If he had done something very super duper inappropriate to the young lady, then yes, it would be sexual harassment.
If it were me (as being a female myself), I would have mixed feelings about the situation. Then again, I just let it go like nothing happened.
