Akshay unbuttoned himself

Akshay in 'unbuttoned' row

Little did Akshay Kumar think that unbuttoning his trousers in jest at a fashion show would attract the attention of the city's moral police, and a complaint being filed against the actor at Vakola police station on Thursday morning. Akshay, the brand ambassador of Levis jeans, unveiled its 'Unbuttoned' brand at the Lakme Fashion Week on Tuesday at the Grand Hyatt, Santa Cruz. Anil Nair, who describes himself as a social worker, submitted a written complaint against the actor, his wife Twinkle, the show organizer and the hotel management, to the Vakola police station, urging the police to book them for indecent, vulgar and obscene behaviour. 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 persond. Nair also provided various newspaper clippings and video footage of the show to the police.

Senior police inspector of Vakola police station, S G Nekalikar said, “Before registering an FIR we want to make sure the case can stand in court. We will examine related materials and take opinion from legal experts before reaching a conclusion.'' Police stated the incident involved the husband and his wife and they are not sure whether they can be booked under the above-mentioned sections. Police will call the actor and other concerned persons for questioning only after registering an FIR. Those present at the fashion show on Tuesday evening said Akshay had walked half the ramp at which point a model walked up to the actor and tried to unbutton his jeans. The actor refused and walked towards his wife Twinkle seated in the audience and asked her to unbutton it. Asked about the incident after the event, the actor had allegedly said that it was not a big deal as it was his wife Twinkle who unbuttoned his trousers and more importantly, the entire act was part of the storyboard.

Informed about the complaint filed against him, Akshay, who is currently shooting for his television show Khatron Ke Khiladi, promptly apologised saying, “If I have hurt anyone's sentiments with my action then I am sorry because I didn't mean to.” But Nair is not ready to accept a simple apology. He said, “ I have done it for the youth who consider Akshay Kumar as their role model. He has been bestowed with an honour like the Padma Shri and should not be doing what he did, in public.'' Nair added, “The cops have promised me that they will investigate the case and convert the complaint into an FIR later.'' Nair told police he was shocked when he watched the footage on a news channel where Akshay asked his wife to remove his zip in the middle of the show and he therefore decided to file a complaint.
