Now Gere’s something you don’t see everyday. Post Big Brother, Shilpa Shetty seems to have formed a celebrity fan-following of her own. Check out Hollywood star Richard Gere hugging and kissing our very own Bollywood starlet Shilpa Shetty.

The event held in Delhi on Sunday was a part of the ongoing Seena Taan Ke campaign organized by the Truckers Corporation of India Foundation. Gere and Shetty were present at the function to speak of unsafe sexual practices among the trucking community.

We guess that they were demonstrating that AIDS cannot spread by kissing or canoodling.

Apparently their conduct at the function did not go well amongst the Indian audience and the latter are demanding a public apology from both of them.

Sunny Deol was also present at the occasion where he encouraged truck-drivers for their work and asked them to adopt healthy sexual behaviour.

The kiss between Hollywood actor Richard Gere and Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty at an AIDS awareness function on Sunday has sparked a series of minor protests in Varanasi.

At a programme for truckdrivers in Delhi, Gere kissed Shilpa a number of times to prove that AIDS does not spread by kissing.



But this act has not gone down well with certain sections. Members of Shilpa Shetty Fan Club took to the streets to show their anger against Gere’s behavior. They burnt an effigy of the 58-year-old actor and demanded an apology from him.

According to a member of the club, Gere has “not only done disservice to the AIDS campaign but has also blemished the rich Indian culture” by repeatedly kissing Shilpa in front of a huge gathering.

On the other hand, Shiv Sena activists burnt Gere’s effigy and demanded that he should leave India immediately.

Activists of another Hindu organization, Vande Mataram Sangharsh Samiti, also protested against the Hollywood star, and mocked Shilpa for not protesting Gere’s behaviour.
