Shilpa Shetty: I could never do a Hollywood snog

Bollywood actress won't try to crack America because of her steadfast beliefs

Shilpa Shetty doesn't think she stands a chance of making it big in Hollywood – because she refuses to kiss anyone on screen.

The Bollywood actress, 32, says public smooching is frowned upon in her home country of India.

And because she wants to stick to her beliefs, Shilpa reckons there won’t be enough roles for her in America.

‘I'd love to do Hollywood, but it would have to be something that doesn't make me self-conscious,’ she tells the Daily Mail. ‘I could never do a lip-lock.’

And she's got good reason to avoid puckering up on camera. The last time Shilpa kissed a man in front of an audience, she was accused of violating India's strict anti-obscenity laws.

Richard Gere gave her a peck at an Aids awareness event in New Delhi and caused a national outrage.
