i was look at bbc website and this what it said:
Actor Richard Gere has sparked protests in India after kissing Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty at an Aids awareness rally in New Delhi.
Demonstrators in Mumbai (Bombay) set light to effigies of the Hollywood star, while protesters in other cities shouted "death to Shilpa Shetty".
The protesters said Gere insulted Indian culture by kissing the hand and face of the Bollywood actress.
Public displays of affection and sex are still largely taboo in India.
Shetty downplayed the incident, saying "it was not so obscene".
