Shilpa spokesman urges public to focus on 'real issue'

An Indian court issued arrest warrants for Hollywood actor Richard Gere and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty today, saying their kiss at a public function "transgressed all limits of vulgarity," media reports said.

Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants in the north-western city of Jaipur after a local citizen filed a complaint charging that the public display of affection offended local sensibilities, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
