An Indian
man slapped a movie star in the face during the filming of a TV show in Mumbai
because of the length of her dress, police said.
The man,
Mohammad Akil Malik, is accused of assaulting Gauhar Khan, an actress and TV
host, in a break in shooting for a music-themed reality show on Sunday evening,
said V.S. Chavan, a local police official.
Malik
also tried to "manhandle" Khan while asking her why she was wearing a
short dress, Chavan said Tuesday. Continue...
He
demanded to know "how she could wear skimpy outfits and dance to cheap
songs despite being a Muslim," the Times of India reported, citing an
unidentified police official.
Private
security guards from the TV show overpowered Malik at the scene and handed him
over to police.
Malik,
who works as a driver, was arrested on charges of assault, molestation and
threatening behavior and is due to appear in court on Thursday, Chavan said.
Khan has
acted in several Bollywood films. She gained widespread attention last year
thanks to her role in another Indian reality show.
