Actress Khushboo, who was caught in a series of legal tangles for advocating sex education for girls in schools, appears to be in trouble again this time for "wearing chappals" in front of idols of goddesses at a film muhurat in Chennai.
Gurumurthy, a Hindu Munnani activist, lodged a complaint before a Kumbakonam civil court, alleging that Khushboo was seen sitting with her slippers in front of the idols of goddeses Lakshmi, Saraswathy and Parvathy, during a pooja for a film in Chennai on November 22.
The photograph was published in a Tamil Weekly recently and her action had hurt the sentiments of the Hindus, Gurumurthy said in his complaint.
He wanted the court to take action against her under sections 295 and 295(A) of the IPC for hurting the religious sentiments of the people. After receiving the complaint, the judge posted the case for December 3 to decide on the admissibility of the complaint. (Agencies)
