Akshay Kumar On The Unbuttoning Controversy
According to Akshay Kumar, who’s just been declared the highest taxpayer of Bollywood, the jeans-unbuttoning controversy has enhanced the brand’s sales by 20 per cent.
The actor who has been accused of unbecoming behaviour can’t stop laughing at the irony of it. “When the brand’s bosses called to tell me how much they had gained, I thought, Chalo kisi ko to phayda hua.”
Laughing off the controversy that erupted after Akshay’s wife, Twinkle, unbuttoned his trousers at a fashion event, the star accuses vested interests of trying to sabotage his career. “Otherwise how does one explain so much interest in one button on my trouser when there are so many really critical problems facing the country including the Lok Sabha Elections?” Brushing off the police complaint filed for obscenity against Akshay and his wife, he says, “It was nothing. Last year too a girl unbuttoned one button of my jeans as part of the endorsement because the whole campaign is called ‘unbutton’, which signifies freedom. Last year it was a model. This year it was my wife.”
So did Akshay bring in his wife as a last-minute improvisation at the endorsement event? “There was no improvisation. I am not a scriptwriter. It was all planned; was all a part of the act. A girl was supposed to run up to me and undo the top button of my jeans. I was supposed to stop her and go up to my wife to get her to do the needful… But it’s all behind us now.”
Akshay blames the whole incident on the same people whom he had pointedly accused of trying to sabotage his interests about a few months ago.
No bumper prizes for guessing whom he means when he says, “These are people within our industry, my colleagues in fact, who cannot bear to see others succeed in life. Otherwise how do you explain this eruption of moral anger when I had done nothing more than just undo one button? No skin was shown, nor did I have girls in bikinis dancing around me on the ramp.
Lekin agar kisiko footage khana hai to kya karen? Some people found my behaviour objectionable. I apologised. The matter should’ve ended there. Why was it dragged on in this suspicious manner?”
