Gere made headlines when he kissed Shetty, winner of the British reality television show Celebrity Big Brother, several times on the cheek at an anti-AIDS show in New Delhi last year.
"It's a badge of somewhat insane courage," he said during a visit to San Francisco on Tuesday, saying others had also been charged with similar offenses in the past. "It is a very complex society."
In March, India's Supreme Court suspended the legal proceedings and granted Gere permission to again travel to and from India.
Gere was visiting San Francisco to attend a pro-Tibet rally ahead of the running of the Olympic torch in the city on Wednesday.
