That’s not full on unbuttoning

Ashish Jagtiani The Radio One RJ dismisses all the brouhaha being created by a small flyOnce again, something nonsensical is hogging headlines, especially at such an important time for our country. Elections are round the corner and there is pre-election coverage on newspaper front pages and onu00a0 news channels during prime time. Sadly, sharing the same space is a news item on an obscenity case filed against Akshay Kumar by some activist called Anil Nair. I'm all for some comic relief during election time, but frankly, that comes from the candidates themselves. Khul jaa sim sim: Actor Akshay Kumar asked his wife Twinkle to unbutton his jeans during a recent fashion showu00a0 at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai Pic/Pradeep DhivarAs it is, I'm troubled by the fact that dim-witted people like Sanjay Dutt and Varun Gandhi are taking the focus away from important issues at hand. I don't care if Varun rots in prison for a year, he probably deserves to. Nor is it relevant to me that Sanjay Dutt can't stand for electionsu00a0it was a bad idea to begin with and now I really can't take the whining.Beyond all of this, some joker is hogging headlines for filing a case against Akshay Kumar and the organisers of the fashion event because Twinkle unbuttoned her husband Akshay's fly.I saw a video grab of that incident. From what I could make out, Akshay walks up to Twinkle and all she does is undo the top button of his jeans before he walks away. If we want to get technical, that's not full on unbuttoning. It's not like the actor was walking around with his pants half down and his chaddi on display.Frankly, I don't care if Akshay Kumar walks down Marine Drive starkers in Mumbai with his pee-pee waving in the wind, nor should Anil Nair. Where is this freak when crimes are committed against women, when criminals enter politics? That's what is obscene and that's what our publicity-hungry Anil Nair should be fighting in court against. It's election time, for heaven's sake; focus on something more relevant than Akshay's zipper. If you can't, then zip your own mouth shut.
