Harbhajan’s
Ravan’s act in Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena
continues to haunt him. Earlier it was the
Akal Takht which objected to his act on
Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena and now it’s
certain members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad
in Jalandhar who reportedly have filed a
Public Interest Litigation accusing Harbhajan,
Mona Singh for hurting religious sentiments.
The
complaint was filed in October 2008 under
sections 298 (uttering words with a deliberate
intent to wound the religious feelings of
any person) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy)
of Indian Penal Code.
Back in September, Harbhajan and Mona had
danced as Ravan and Sita in Ek Khiladi
Ek Haseena. While the Sikhs objected
to one of their own dressing up as the demon
king Ravan, the Hindus were riled as they
questioned how Sita can be shown dancing
with Ravan.
Advocate Arvind Thakur, who had moved the
complaint along with members from the local
unit of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has
quoted on a website saying that after hearing
the arguments on the petition, the magistrate
issued summons for Harbhajan, Mona and authorities
of channel, on which the program was aired,
for April 27, 2009.
Meanwhile, an upset Mona Singh had this
to say, “I don’t know who filed the PIL.
I was informed about it this morning through
calls from the press. We’ve accepted our
mistake and have apologised for it. May
be, an apology in court will settle the
matter once and for all. After this episode,
I’m scared to take part in any reality shows.”
While playing a match in Chandigarh, Harbhajan
had tendered a public apology. According
to advocate Thakur, they wanted Harbhajan
and Mona to file a written apology in the
court but failed to do so and that is what
has prompted this latest action.
Well, we hope that a written apology from
our stars will soothe the nerves of the
aggrieved.
