Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty cleared of obscenity charges 15 years after Richard Gere kiss.
Shetty was also quick to defend Gere, saying he was enacting a scene from his film “Shall We Dance” to entertain the audience.
An arrest warrant was nonetheless issued for Gere, although the obscenity charges were quickly thrown out by India’s Supreme Court, which dismissed them as “cheap publicity.” But the case against Shetty had languished in the Indian court system until last week, when Mumbai Metropolitan Magistrate Ketaki Chavan dismissed it as “groundless.”Describing it as “baseless and frivolous,” in a written submission to the court in 2017, Shetty’s lawyer, Madhukar Dalvi, had argued that the entire case rested on the fact that “she did not protest when she was kissed by the co-accused.”Chavan appeared to agree in the court ruling released Monday.
“Shilpa Shetty is the victim of alleged act of accused No. 1,” she said in a written ruling, referring to Gere.
