A criminal case filed...for an on-screen kiss?

Ok, so I'm not a huge fan of Aishwarya Rai. Let me correct myself: I'm not a fan of Aishwarya Rai, period. And I'm not a huge fan of Hrithik Roshan either...or his body [yes I'm a girl, yes I don't fancy Hrithik's looks, and no I'm not a lesbian] - but suing them for a kiss they shared in the movie Dhoom 2? Come on, that's pushing things slightly over the limit.

Mr Shailendra Dwivedi, a lawyer in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, filed the suit last week, accusing the actor-pair of lowering the dignity of Indian women and encouraging obscenity among India’s youth. What's even more ridiculous is that a court has agreed to hear the case on Monday.

Do Mr. Dwivedi and others like him honestly believe that "India's youth" has never been exposed to obscenity before this one kiss shared by Hrithik and Aishwarya in Dhoom 2? Do they think teenagers and young adults have never watched Western films? Because there's a lot more than just kissing taking place in those...

I suppose Mallika Sherawat is not doing anything wrong in Mr. Dwivedi's eyes by appearing practically naked all over the place? No, of course not. Even though her movie "Khwahish" released in 2003 featured 17 on-screen kisses.

And honestly, like lawyers don't have a bad enough name. Mr. Dwivedi is seriously clueless if he thinks young girls are going to go out and say "because Aishwarya Rai kissed, I can kiss too," then proceed to do so. They'll do it for other reasons if they are going to, not because Aishwarya Rai did. Pathetic.

Oh geez! i swear it is the backwarded crap like this that will stagnate India. Okay first of all, i completely agree that it is absurd the court even granted to hear the case.

It is like that whole Kushboo case.. it is totally ridiculous. Who is this guy kidding..... India is expected to surpass China in expected population growth, and the number of people affected with AIDS? get a clue people.

I am all for kissing on screen.. dude, come on, its like the girl who kisses but doesnt tell... acts all goodie goodie. You can't think you sweeping it under the rug is gonna make your house any cleaner. retarded.... such a waste of time.
