the naval uniform that has been used in his
film Rustom, actor Akshay Kumar said the
auction intends to support a good cause
and he has not done "anything wrong".
Akshay, who was present as the brand
ambassador of New India Conclave on
Tuesday evening, said this when he was
asked to comment on the ongoing
controversy.
The National Award winning actor said: "I
support my wife on that matter. I and my
wife are doing some work with good
intention for a good cause. That was a
costume that I used in the film. It is going
for (for auction) a good cause. I do not
think we have done anything wrong." "If
anyone finds it wrong then it is okay. I
cannot do anything on that," he added.
Akshay replied to the question raised by the
media in the presence of Maharashtra Chief
Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
On April 26, Akshay tweeted "Hi all, I'm
thrilled to announce that you can bid to win
the actual naval officer uniform I wore in
Rustom! Auction's proceeds will support
the cause of animal rescue and welfare.
Place your bid at http://
www.SaltScout.com !" The controversy
started when a person took to Facebook to
express his opinion on why the 'auction of
a naval officer's uniform' is wrong. That
was further tweeted to Akshay Kumar's
wife Twinkle Khanna.
Responding to that, Twinkle said: "As a
society, do we really think it's all right to
threaten a woman with bodily harm for
trying to raise funds for a charity by
auctioning a uniform used in a movie, a
piece of film memorabilia? I will not
retaliate with violent threats but by taking
legal action!" The troller had said: "You
touch our honour and we will give you a
bloody nose."
