A lawyer has filed a criminal complaint against Bollywood stars Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan and a TV channel after the two actors were allegedly shown wearing shoes on the set of a temple.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate V.K. Gautam listed for January 22 the complaint filed by Gaurav Gulati, who sought action against the two actors on charges of hurting religious feelings.
He told the court that he noticed on a YouTube post dated December 15, 2015 that the actors wore shoes on the sets of a Kali temple while shooting for a reality TV show. An idol of goddess Kali was seen in the backdrop, he said.
The plea also sought action against the producer and director of the reality show and the TV channel.
