Bollywood star in obscenity case

A complaint accusing Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar of obscenity has been lodged with police in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay).

The actor, who recently appeared for Levi's at the Lakme India Fashion Week show, asked his wife to unbutton his jeans during his catwalk. The actor is the brand ambassador of Levi's "Unbuttoned" range.

Kumar is one of Bollywood's most popular and successful stars and has appeared in many blockbusters.



The case against Kumar was filed by Anil P Nayar, a social worker. Mr Nayar says the unbuttoning of the jeans was "vulgar and indecent".

"After the preliminary inquiry, we will register a case against Akshay Kumar, [his wife] Twinkle Khanna, the abettor of the Lakme Fashion Week show and the top management of the Grand Hyatt [the hotel where the show was held] and we will take action against them," SG Pandey, a lawyer of the complainant, said.

Police say they have received the complaint, but are yet to register a case.
