Shilpa Shetty got married to Raj Kundra, a London based businessman. 34 year old Shilpa’s career in Bollywood wasn’t as such great. But following the controversy of Big Brother Shilpa acquired an skill to remain famous for just being famous. She hasn’t worked in any worth mentioning bollywood movie since ages. But she remained in the news and now her big fat South Indian wedding is the talk of the town.

Who is Raj Kundra? He is a young millionaire from UK. Raj Kundra had an interest in Bollywood since a long time. Previously he tried to penetrate his way into Bollywood by launching Velocity Entertainment company which aimed to redistribute Hindi movies to European and North American markets. At that time in 2004, Raj Kundra told the media that he has grown up watching Hindi movies and he dreams to make it big in Bollywood. So I guess marrying a Bollywood Heroine is the dream come true for Raj.

Shilpa’s wedding got huge press coverage. It was an expansive wedding where money was no issue at all so it was bound to get media’s attention even if there was no Shilpa in the wedding. Shilpa decided to get married in South Indian style so she was dressed as a traditional South Indian bride on her wedding day. As you can see in pictures of Shilpa’s wedding.

The couple has planned to spend their honeymoon in Paradise Islands, Bahamas. According to sources Raj Kundra has booked a Luxury Suite for the couple at the Atlantic Resort. However, before leaving for the honeymoon Shilpa and her husband Raj Kundra are going to visit Oneness University in Chennai. According to the sources Shilpa and her husband are the followers of this spirtual group.

Bollywood actresses like Sushmita, Aishwarya and Priyanka rule the skies and hearts of millions of people but when a lay man thinks that bollywood actresses are naturally perfect then I suppose he/she is in for a big shock. Eight years ago poor Sushmita Sen had teary eyes in a conference where she denied her Aesthetic Surgery (breast enhancement). Yes, these girls go through a lot before looking absolutely gorgeous. Well, our beloved Sushmita Sen goes clean but what about other actresses. Surprisingly people today actually enjoy talking about breast enhancements, silicone bags, silicone pouches, liposuction, cosmetic surgery and etc. and trust me if you think I am wrong then you would not have been here reading this.

The trend of pushup bras in the Western culture in the 80’s created the hunger. Pushup bras were felt comfortable to wear and to talk about in the bollywood industry in 1964, and then the competition rose in our politically organized film industry.

Aesthetic surgery also known as the B job in our slang language has been more actively practiced by our Dr. Ashok Gupta, a famous aesthetic surgeon. He does approximately 15 to 20 surgeries in a month that’s only one surgeon we are telling you about. Of course, B-job has been famous all over the world but let’s talk about our industry. The “Who has the fake boobs in bollywood list” OR “I have gotten a B-job done list” consists of actresses like Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra, Ayesha Takia (I personally give her 5/5), Sushama Reddy, Bipasha Basu, Rakhi Aditi Govitrikar and Koena Mitra (she has apparently had two). The last one actually gave me the laughs, I mean two times sheesh. What is the point?

Well the point is that the glamorous yummy looking figures are fake! And its heavily affecting the young generation. Dr. Narendra Pandya says half of the time 18 year olds are under his knife. What these teenagers do not know is that these likely cost effective surgeries can create fungus and leak inside those wobbly results of yours and the expensive ones, well they can cost an 18 year old a life time or perhaps their parents would pay for their costs. This is one thing which I hate about our actresses getting the B-job done and then openly talking about it and not only that but feeling good when these young girls follow their footsteps. Surprisingly mothers, grand-mothers, sisters, daughters, friends etc. enjoy talking about it. There is an interesting thought that once food, shelter and clothing are dealt with then one starts worrying about stuff like boobs, noses and fat all over the body to sum it up. This country is going in the hands of aesthetic surgeons more because of the B****es in the bollywood industry who like to show off their round huge chewable gummy boobs and talk about them more in open.

The world is watching Indian Kissing scandals closely. The world can understand that the public display of affection by kissing hurts Indian feelings. But we have news of complaints filed in Indian courts against the kissing scenes in the movies. Just a few days ago Aishwarya Rai was summoned by the court to explain an “obscene” kissing scene in the movie Dhoom 2.

Christian Science Monitor takes a good look at the Indian sensibilities and the controversy over the Gere-Shetty kissing. In India, a public kiss is not just a kiss is the title of the story. They interviewed people like shopkeepers, college girls and sociologists.

“Courts spend 20 years on rape cases, and here they’ve issued a warrant in weeks,” says Hardeep Singh, sitting behind the counter of his father’s shoe store.

Since Bollywood has taken the lead to break the kissing taboo so it is easily understood why the actors and actresses are becoming victim of public anger. But Bollywood refrains to take part in the debate openly as they have always tried to keep a distance from politically charged controversies. It is not good for their business, I guess. I liked what Dipankar Gupta said while explaining the Indian fury over the kissing scenes in the movies and real life.

“Two very different societies are colliding with each other,” says Dipankar Gupta, a sociologist at Jawaharlal Nehru University here. “Because of the Western influence, the changes here are not a natural evolution.”…
….After all, this is the land of the “item girl” – that would-be Bollywood star whose dancing includes everything short of a pole and a wardrobe malfunction. Yet for all her overt sexuality, the temptress is acceptably Indian. The public kiss is not.

Remember we talked (like every body else) about the innocent Richard Gere kissing Shilpa. Well, but a court in India finds it Obscene and has issued arrest warrant for Richard Gere. While talking to Jon Stewart on the Daily show Richard Gere said:

Me kissing the girl on the cheek was nothing. There is a very small right-wing, very conservative political party in India and they are the moral police in India … they do this kind of thing quite often. I do not know of anyone who has gone to jail for something like this.

Shilpa Shetty’s spokesperson Dale Bhagwager told that Shilpa had not received any court order or summons and was currently away visiting temples. He said Shetty had not done anything wrong.

What is there to comment? They were three innocent, natural cute pecks on the cheek. What can one say, when three pecks can be made into an issue in the land of the Kama Sutra? People should concentrate on the bigger issue of Aids, rather than this.

Under the Indian law a person convicted for public obscenity may end serving up to three months in prison, a fine or both.

Poor Richard Gere he didn’t know that kissing someone is such a big issue in India. And kissing someone in public is a horrible act. The controversy sparked when Richard Gere kissed Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty during an AIDS HIV awareness rally.

Some Hindu fundamentalist parties hijacked the issue, claiming that Richard’s kissing was vulgar. They organized protests in Mumbai shouting “death to Shilpa Shetty”.

Shilpa Shetty dismissed the public criticism by saying:

What he did was very sweet. It was all in good humour, He especially told me to tell the media that he didn’t want to hurt any Indian sensibilities. I am happy that this has happened because at least now people will talk about the issue of Aids and HIV.

Richard surely didn’t know the sensibilities of macho Indian society where all Indian men want all Indian women for themselves. A Gora kissing their big brother winner is disgusting. However, if the same gora or even if some desi had kissed Shilpa on screen then they would have loved it. Kissing to Indian society is something so special and fantastic that they can not see it happening in real, under broad daylight.
