Richard Gere moves on to Bipasha Basu

Hollywood actor Richard Gere seems to have a thing for Indian actresses. First Gere was seen falling all over Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty at an event to raise awareness on AIDS, and now in a popular TV talk show he goes ga-ga over Bipasha.

The show is Koffee with Karan. In conversation with Karan Johar while Gere was giving out the names of Indian actors who have been working actively in the field of AIDS, he is reported to have said that Bipasha is "very sexy" and "very hot."

And no the praises do not end here. The apparently enamoured star goes on to say that Bipasha is terrific and very bright.

What say, Bips? Do you take that as a compliment?
