INDIAN police have registered a case accusing Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and his wife of obscenity after she unbuttoned his jeans during a fashion show.
Mumbai police said they acted after a complaint was lodged against Kumar and Twinkle Khanna by a social campaigner who called the performance “vulgar and indecent”.
Kumar, a brand ambassador for Levi’s “Unbuttoned” range, was strutting down the catwalk last week when he stopped in front of his wife, who was seated in the audience, and asked her to undo his trousers.
“We have registered a case against Akshay, Twinkle and the organisers of Lakme Fashion Week,” an unnamed police officer said on Saturday (April 4).
India’s obscenity laws are punishable by a maximum of two years’ imprisonment and a fine of Rs2,000 ($39/£26).
The actor has apologised for the incident.
