Richard Gere’s playful kiss in India that caused an uproar in the country has led to an arrest warrant being issued for the star.Â
A city court here issued an arrest warrant against Hollywood actor Richard Gere on Thursday and asked film actress Shilpa Shetty to appear before it on May 5 in connection with a case of kissing in public. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Dinesh Gupta gave the orders on a complaint filed by a lawyer that the two actors kissed at an AIDS awareness campaign event in New Delhi recently and this amounted to “indecent representation of sexual activities” at a public place.
This offense is punishable by up to 3 months in prison! If you are going to go to prison for a kiss on the check what does involving small rodents get you? What if Gere decides not to show up will they issue a bench warrant for him? Does he have any real need to go back to India? I saw Seinfeld where sure refused to use the bathroom in that country so I don’t even want to think about what the prisons might be like. Good luck Gere and I hope it was worth it.
