Akshay Kumar in obscenity row


  • Akshay Kumar recently walked the ramp in the Lakme Fashion Week for designer Tarun Tahiliani. After doing his act he went to wife Twinkle Khanna and asked her to unbutton his jeans. This act brought in cheers and roar from the crowd but a certain section was shocked and considered it to be obscene and in bad taste.
  • A social worker ,Anil Nair has submitted a written complaint against the actor, his wife Twinkle, the designer and the organisers of the show to the Vakola police station. He has urged the police to book them for indecent, vulgar and obscene behaviour and submitted clipping and photographs of the event. He said they should be booked under section 292 related to sale of obscene objects and section 293, related with sale of obscene objects to young persons.
  • The police on its part is investigating the case and a senior police official said that the evidence is being examined before registering an FIR so that the case stands a chance in court. He added that the opinion of the legal experts have to be taken before reaching a conclusion with the case. Akshay Kumar is the brand ambassador of Levis jeans in India and his act was to promote the new range of jeans which comes with a tag ‘Unbuttoned’.
