Shilpa Shetty has been cleared of charges in India nearly 15 years after the actress was kissed by actor Richard Gere in public. Obscenity charges filed against the Bollywood actress were dismissed in a Mumbai court last week, the BBC reports.
The charges against Shetty, 46, were ruled "groundless," and the court found that she was a victim of an unwanted advance from Gere, according to the outlet. Shetty, who first skyrocketed to fame in India after appearing on "Celebrity Big Brother" in the United Kingdom was previously accused of being a "perpetrator" for not doing more to resist Gere's public kiss at the time it happened.

An arrest warrant was issued for Gere.
However, it was thrown out by India's Supreme Court not long after and the claims against him were dismissed as being filed against the actor for "cheap publicity," per the outlet.
