When police knocked on Bollywood's door

When Richard Gere kissed Shilpa Shetty at an AIDS awareness function in 2007, the audience -- mostly truckdrivers -- did not take it so kindly. The moral police came crashing down on the stars, as they demanded that the actors be booked for obscenity.

Later, when Shilpa was traveling to Berlin, she was stopped at the airport by the police.

Luckily for her, the Supreme Court had -- only a day before -- overturned the ban against her to travel outside the country in connection with the obscenity act. The police were not aware of this development, and let her go.
