I have seen hundreds of bollywood movies, and let me tell you something. There are so many romantic scenes in the films of the men and women. And now something like this happens with a little kiss on the cheek, and the whole country is going crazy. I just think the matter of the fact is that the rioters were just those uneducated people who have posters of shilpa shetty up on their walls and dream about her. And now Gere comes and kisses their dream girl. Blood starts to boil and envy takes them to the streets. Its a shame that such a little incident has been taken out of proportion when more important issues have been ignored. To tell you the truth, India has been influenced by the USA a lot. With everything from movies, music, lifestyle, fashion etc... and yet something like this happens and everyone get their machetes out. Grow up people. Also I have a lot of respect for other cultures, but some things need to be handled in an appropriate manner and professionally. thanks Thank you very very much.

People that know Mr. Gere's past and how he feels about other countries know that he was not trying in any way to disrespect Shetty or the country. It was all in good fun. For people to say the words rape and to say that Gere should pay the max penalty is just disgusting. India and people like scott....... GROW UP! People are over reacting about Richard Gere!

It is so symbolic. It is right in line with the image of the white colonist forcing himself upon a country and just taking whatever he wants. Richard Gere should pay the ultimate price for this. What bothers me however is those who would blame Shilpa Shetty for this. Too often women victims of rape in India are blamed for what happened like they wanted the rape to happen or it was their fault the rape happened even when the truth might be that the rapists brutalized them and they couldn't stop the rape from happening. While of course Richard Gere didn't actually rape Shilpa Shetty, I still see this whole "Blame the Woman Victim" dynamic in place. From what I saw from the video Shilpa Shetty did nothing to cause Richard Gere to act the way he did, and was in fact as shocked as everyone else was that he would act in such a disgraceful manner. We need to defend this daughter of India, not blame her for this white man's assault upon her.
