Cheerleader concept in India should been introduced properly and just having skimmpy clad women jumping aroung in front of the crowd ..doesnt make sense. People or the organisers should think deep of the concept, i am totally not against cheerleader show concept .. but we Indian should think in a very indian way possible, we have to educate the society before introducing such concepts, or else it just remains HALF NAKED PROVOCATING WOMEN JUMPING IN FRONT OF THE CROWD, WHICH MAKES no SENSE TO THE COMMON PEOPLE. This becomes a distraction instead of Attraction or the sense of healthy Entertainmant for the Indian Crowd.
Its just an advice and each one of US Indians should think how to introduce such kind of alien concept to the common Indians.
Get thing slow…… slow and steady wins the eace, education isa must when something new is introduced to our society.

Also, it’s the intimate contact that creates the problem. Notice how no matter how skimpy the outfits in the films get, or how passionate the love scene, the romantic leads never kiss or otherwise touch each other in an intimate area.

The cheerleaders, as actors in an entertainment, will be fine as long as they don’t make out with Jason Campbell.

Hm. Disappearing post.

Bipasha is very pretty–and shapely too! I only recognize the names of a couple of her movies, and I have seen either of them yet.

I like Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta. Also, I’m an older fellow, so another of my favorites has been around a bit longer: Madhuri Dixit.

Can we drop these fratricidal GD primaries on focus on the beauties of life such as this girl?

HOLY HEMIOLA!!!

“Jessica or Aishwarya?”

Both are fine, but I’d have to go with fellow Bengali, Bipasha Basu

When they are on the cricket pitch, they can be dressed in their outfits. But for just going sight-seeing, I’d recommend something long-sleeved. If they want to go native, a salwaar-kameez can be quite graceful, comfortable in the heat, and since it covers up most of the skin, it will protect against mosquitoes.

Oliver - although I only lived in DC from 1999-2002, I still have a Redskins cheerleader calendar from my time there. They are something else.

Don’t kid us, OW. I know where your allegiances lie. Just answer this one simple question:

Jessica or Aishwarya?

Cheerleading at a cricket match could be fun.

I volunteer to be the go-between between the cheerleaders and India’s very attractive women.

A liaison, if you will. For the good of both cultures.

Yeah, I know. It’s a small minority who make noise there–just like here.

However, I think your observation about the divide between what’s accepted on-screen versus what’s acceptable in person is what I was driving at.

If you were advising the cheerleaders, what would you recommend?

I haven’t been to the Calcutta side of India–only Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi. Maybe next time!

Calcutta (I stick with the old spelling).

The Richard Gere-Shilpa Shetty incident was different. When movie-goers pay to see a movie, they know it is fiction (hopefully they know). But to see Gere behave like that in public was probably not wise. Besides, it was a big deal to maybe 100 people, out of a billion.

And a big howdy to you, KXB. Where in India are your parents from?

I’m well aware, Spider. It’s true the movies have been allowing skimpier attire lately. But recall the flap over Richard Gere giving a public peck on the cheek to Shilpa Shetty.

Generally, modesty rules in India.

Quaker - India is a Hindu nation, not a Muslim nation.

They might have to tone the cleavage down, like, an inch.

Case in point.

Being born in the USA, but with parents from India, let me say, “God Bless America.”

I do hope they plan to tone down their outfits. The one pictured would not be well received in India.
