Bollywood actress Gauhar Khan was slapped in the face during filming of the Raw Star reality television show in India Sunday evening by an irate audience member who claimed that the actresses' clothing was too revealing for a Muslim woman to be wearing.
Mohammad Akil Malik, 24, was arrested on charges of assault, molestation, and threatening behavior after he stood up and slapped Khan during a break in filming of the reality singing competition, according to CNN.
“Being a Muslim woman, she should not have worn such a short dress,” the Mumbai police quoted Malik as saying by way of explanation.
Malik was arrested and charged with molestation under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code.
Khan took to Twitter Tuesday to thank her fans for their support after the incident:
I thank all my fans...loved ones n imp voices of personalities tat hav supported me in dis traumatic time..May almighty bless us all.
