Shilpa Shetty was kissed several times by Richard Gere during an AIDS-awareness event.The pair had appeared at a press conference in New Delhi as part of a campaign to preach safe sex to truck drivers in India, the country with the world's largest number of HIV sufferers.However, following the kiss, members of the right-wing Hindu nationalist group Shiv Sena beat burning effigies of Gere with sticks.However, most people preferred to set fire to the glamorous shots of Shetty. People demanded an apology from her and threatened to ban her movies in the state. (Source:WikiPedia)

So what's her excuse on this?

Shilpa: "I know it is a trivial issue. Somebody is trying to do something for your country and you are treating him so badly."

Shilpa Shetty is outraged by the Hindu rightwing Shiv Shena's violent reaction to her striking a "dancing pose" with Hollywood superstar Richard Gere and says they were overreacting to an absolutely trivial issue.

"I was completely taken aback. My work was disrupted. The set was damaged. I am not allowed to I know it is blown out of proportion. If protecting Indian culture and tradition means burning our effigies, please go ahead and do it. But our culture also teaches us "atithi devo bhava" (Guest is God). I feel people are overreacting. Don't misuse the freedom of expression in a democracy," Shilpa told mediapersons.

So now she is teaching Indians about our culture saying that "atithi devo bhava" (Guest is God). ? Is she out of her mind ?

After winning the British reality show "Big Brother", Shilpa Shetty has become quite popular in Britain and feels this kind of irresponsible behaviour will leave a bad impression on the British public.

She adds "I don't understand why are we making an idiot of ourselves by blowing it up. We will look like an idiot on British media. Whatever has happened is wrong." (Source:MSN Content)

So now she is worried about her "British" fans and "British" Media ?
