Well, me neither, but who says I have to agree with Shilpa? Seriously, there’s only two stories doing the rounds today and one is of you-know-them’s wedding and I refuse to discuss it until it’s all over. Anyways, Shilpa Shetty is outraged at the Indian public’s reaction to what she calls a harmless incident in good humour that happened with Richard Gere (look at yesterday’s Celebrity blog if you wanna read about it).
She accepts that he’s from a different culture but his intention was not to offend Indian sensibilities. She’s right and Indian’s just want to make a controversy out of nothing. Bigger things are at stake and Richard Gere was raising awareness for AIDs, this a huge thing for India, which has been hit hardest by the pandemic. Now not only are Indian’s stupid, but they’re giving a terrible impression to the rest of the world. True, it wasn’t as bad as the time I mooned the entire UN while waving the old South African flag and yelling “White Power!â€. How was I to know they didn’t have a sense of humour?
