On
April 15, 2007, Richard Gere kissed Shetty on the cheek several times in jest
during an AIDS-awareness event. The kiss, considered an attack on India’s
cultural and moral values, prompted protesters – alleged members of the
extremist Hindu group Shiv Sena – to beat burning effigies of Gere with sticks.
On
April 26, 2007, an Indian court in Rajasthan issued a warrant for Shetty and
Gere’s arrest. But these negative issues never pulled her back.. Shilpa Shetty responded to these protests by saying,
"I understand this (kissing) is his (Gere's) culture, not ours. But this
was not a big thing or so obscene for people to overreact in such a manner. I
struggle to understand these people's sentiments, but mainly I do not want a
foreigner to take bad memories from here."
In
April 2006, a Madurai court issued non-bailable warrants against Shetty and
Reemma Sen for "posing in an obscene manner" in photographs published
by a Tamil newspaper.She
further claimed "As far as my photographs go, what is obscene about it? If
navel-showing is obscenity, then our traditional Indian outfit – the
traditional sari – should be banned in the first place”
