# Richard Gere Apologizes to Indians

Richard Gere _offered an apology_ to India after a firestorm erupted over an [impromptu kiss and hug](https://theblemish.com/2007/04/india-hates-richard-gere/) of Indian actress Shilpa Shetty. It didn’t stop there though. Richard Gere may be facing three months in jail.

The warrant for Gere and a summons for Shetty were issued in the Rajasthan state capital of Jaipur following a complaint by a lawyer who accused the actor of “an obscene act” which carries a penalty of three months imprisonment, a fine or both.”

Gere believes the case will be thrown out of court for being silly and accuses a “very small right-wing, very conservative” group for pressing on with the issue. The actor also states he was merely re-creating a scene from his movie Shall We Dance. Richard first thought about crediting his more famous movie, Pretty Woman, but then realized comparing Shilpa Shetty to a whore might not be the smartest thing to do. Apparently, those crazy Indians don’t idolize their whores like us.
