      God he does not take a hint. And in front of an audience? He just really wanted to do it and didn’t care.

      Without all the extra coverage and stardom of course, I think most women can relate. At least I do. You laugh it off to try and save the situation and it only works like 40 % of the time.

      Omg I absolutely forgot that this happened 🫣 I remember how awkward and terrible it was.

      Shilpa Shetty has been the victim of controversies in multiple Western countries by aggressive white people. We failed her

      I wonder if that guy told him to do that?? What did he whisper in Gere’s ear? Either way, gross behavior!!!

      He may have been associated with lot of charity work.

      But this ruined his image for me.

      I am not against kissing or hugging.

      But this was straight up assault.

      I don’t know why the case was put on her.

      I wonder if he ever apologized for his conduct here.

      I feel so bad for her :/

      The whole thing of white men fetishising Indian women is not talked about enough.

      It really is an issue – lots of white men and other races of men feel like they can do “anything” with Indian women because they assume them to be meek. I hope he gets what’s coming and fuck the victim blaming

      I feel that it’s a bit more obvious & frequent here in the UK, and also more talked about because of the unique relationship between white people and south asian/ Indian people due to them colonising India

      My mom thinks he’s handsome- I told her he looks like he considers foreplay soaking in a hot tub and talking about his 401k

      Poor woman was so uncomfortable and embarrassed. As anyone would be.
