South Asian Business news and information

The controversy surrounding kissing Shilpa Shetty is going remain alive for the next few days despite the fact that Richard Gere has apologized for his action. This story is being published in the western and Indian media everyday now. So, we will have to read about it for the next few days anyway. I think that Richard Gere has got one benefit from this controversy. He is now a very famous person in whole of Asia. I cannot think of any other Hollywood male actor who is so famous in Asia.

There are 5 lessons for Richard Gere from this controversy.

1. Never kiss an Indian woman in public.

2. If you have made a mistake apologize as soon as you can. Do not wait for a long time.

3. This controversy will only hurt the cause that Richard Gere stands for- Buddhism.

4. Creating awareness about AIDS has no relationship with kissing Shilpa.

5. India is India- Indian is not America.

I hope that Richard Gere learns these lessons and remember them when he travels to India.
