Gere and Shetty face legal action over public kiss

Actor Richard Gere and Bollywood beauty Shilpa Shetty are facing legal action in India after being accused of committing "an obscene act" last weekend.

The Pretty Woman star swept the popular Bollywood actress into his arms and kissed her several times during an AIDS-awareness event last weekend, with angry crowds burning effigies of Gere for going too far in a country where such public displays of affection are largely taboo.
