Come on guys, she doesn't look like she minded. It was just a friendly kiss, and she's not even married. Would you be this mad if you saw an Indian man kissing an American woman?

It sounds like a possessive thing to me.

you need to watch the video...he didnt just give her one little peck...he pummeled her. that's wrong in ANY culture, but especially india because they are not okay with public affection & he was a guest in their country. he totally disrespected them.

Really surprising especially when more than semi-nude films are allowed to be shown in public! Perhaps, judiciary needs to 'activate' in such cases so that the Most Important Cases Affecting Human Lives (like in Nandigram, Singur) could be deferred for some more time, enabling the Govt. to hush up cases & reports and further pressurise poor people to surrender to the Govt. sponsored hooligans ! The higher courts, in many past cases, had taken exception to some such apparently imprudent decisions of lower courts. Let us hope that the Judiciary would do the best under such circumstances.

I think the whole thing is stupid. I mean, I respect all cultures but it seems out of hand. If an Indian actor kissed an American actress, especially in that funny and friendly way, no one would care. The people make a big deal out of the whole situation are probably just bigots. Oh, and they are probably mad because they wish they could have kissed her. Jealousy is an evil weapon!

"Because any display of affection in public is considered wrong...regardless if both couples are consenting adults. It is a cultural thing. "
Unlike rape, cat calling, and the whole lecherous imaginings that are demonstrated on a regular basis by many Indian men.
That's okay.
But kiss a woman on the cheek -- hold on brother.
Yet another example of the gross hypocrisy demonstrated by many men in the world.

Well due to indias mindset they wouldnt like it. But people under 25 now I would say wouldnt care if people made out. Its only the people who are 25+ who react like that.
Plus most of the people who want them jailed are Shiv Sena members who are hindus. Other than them no one really cares.

Richard Gere is hated everwhere, and for good reason. He's annoying in America and not suprisingly annoying in Asia too.

Those people who don't have the chance to kiss shilpa.
