A court in India has dismissed a petition filed against a magistrate’s order discharging Shilpa Shetty in a 2007 obscenity case over actor Richard Gere kissing her at a public event in India.

In March 2007, Shetty and Gere attended an Aids awareness event in Mumbai where the Pretty Woman star kissed her cheek several times.

Soon after the event, the incident was met with protests by radical Hindus who considered Gere’s actions to go against Indian values.

At the time, India’s Supreme Court also issued an arrest warrant for Gere accusing him of participating in “cheap publicity”.
