Richard Gere phones Shilpa Shetty

Richard Gere recently phoned Shilpa Shetty to thank her for her work in creating awareness about the scourge of mankind. With what results? Shetty is on cloud nine, tom-tomming about it to everybody and roaming around wide-eyed.

Shilpa who has been actively involved in several AIDS awareness programs, will also be attending the World Aids Day function in Delhi on December 1st. She also played the lead in Revathy's AIDS story directorial 'Phir Milenge', which starred Salman Khan.

Incidentally, Gere, who himself works actively against AIDS, has seen 'Phir Milenge'.
