Just when you thought British newspapers and websites had all but forgotten about Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty, here comes the latest salvo against Indian prudishness.
Several biggies in the British media went overboard on Thursday, reporting on their websites that the Bollywood actress had been arrested over her kiss with Richard Gere.
For the record, the actress had not been arrested at all. Apparently, some immigration officials at Mumbai airport were still in the dark about a Supreme Court ruling allowing the actress to travel overseas.
Shetty was questioned for a few minutes before being allowed to proceed to Berlin for the premiere of her musical Miss Bollywood.
So much for martyrdom at the hands of India's moral police. Soon this episode will be forgotten in Britain and Shilpa Shetty will once again fade from public memory like she had in the past few months.

ReplyDeleteLaughable, patronizing Hindu hypocrite buffoons smashing their brainless skulls over such insignificant , trivial, inconsequential crap while not realizing that the burgeoning population explosion is not caused by long-distance fertilization! These fatherless bastards also do worse behind closed doors such as bride-burning for dowry and female infanticide and have the gall to cry foul!! From the land of the Kama Sutra?
ReplyDeleteI saw Metro recently. Shilpa was good in it. I think Bollywood's never taken her seriously and now she wants everyone to notice her. She needs to put her mind into doing some good work instead of indulging in all this attention grabbing exercise.
ReplyDeleteWell done Richard ! Shilpa also enjoyed !! People those are protesting on the name of taboo are actually jealous !!!
