Bollywood actress and model Gauhar Khan was slapped during the
shooting of a reality show by a member of the audience who admonished
her for wearing a short dress.

Police arrested a 24-year-old man for attacking the actress during the
shooting of India's Raw Star in Mumbai.

They quoted the man as telling Khan that "being a Muslim woman, she
should not have worn such a short dress".

Khan's attacker will be produced in court on Monday.

The incident took place on Sunday during the final episode of the
show, reports said.

"A preliminary probe has revealed that someone from the audience
started teasing Khan to which she protested. An argument ensued
between Gauhar and the man who was teasing her. Things turned ugly
when the man suddenly slapped the actor," The Hindustan Times quoted a
police official as saying.

Reports said security men present at the venue overpowered the man and
handed him over to the police.

Police have registered a case of assaulting a woman against Khan's
attacker.

Khan has acted in about half a dozen films and was appreciated for her
role in Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year.

She won Bigg Boss, the Indian version of reality TV show Big Brother,
last year.

Indian presenter and model Gauahar Khan was left audibly traumatised
after a member of the audience at a TV competition she was presenting
at got up and slapped her for wearing revealing clothes.
Akil Malik, 24, took offence at Khan’s cutaway outfit as she presented
the grand finale of singing competition Raw Star at Film City in
Goregaon, Mumbai. He then got up out of his seat to threaten and
assault her live on air.



“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.

Though quite how he managed to breach tight security and make it to
the stage to commit the offence remains to be clarified.




Despite the 2,500-strong people in the audience, and 250 guards
present in the studio, he was still able to break the cordon and
confront Khan as she was being escorted out of the venue.

According to Indian reports, Khan was left shaken by the incident, but
returned to the set an hour later to continue filming.

Malik is expected to appear in Boriwali Court today.

A fashion historian says it used to be acceptable for women to wear
far less
An Indian television presenter who was slapped by a male audience
member because he thought her dress was too revealing has tradition on
her side, according to a historian.

Gauhar Khan was left visibly traumatised after the attack last month,
while she filmed the grand finale of singing competition Raw Star.

Akil Malik, 24, took offence to her cutaway dress and ran up to the
stage to hit her across the face and threaten her.

“Being a Muslim woman, she should not have worn such a short dress,”
the Mumbai police quoted him as saying afterwards.

“Actresses are the face of society and they should not wear skirts and
short clothes as they make youngsters get attracted to them
sexually…if actresses stop wearing short clothes, crime will decrease
and lead to a better society.”

The incident prompted a debate in India about changing fashions and
the notion of modesty but according to historian Toolika Gupta, short
dresses are an ancient tradition in India.

Although the country is most associated with floor-length saris and
salwar kameezes for women, that has not always been a case.

Ms Gupta wrote on the BBC News website that what many Indians today
believe are home-grown ideas of decorum and modesty are in fact
British imports left over from the Empire.

The earliest representations of women show them with minimal clothing,
she said, including in sculptures from the Maury and Sunga periods
around 300 BC, when men and women wore rectangular pieces of fabric,
covering their genitals and little else.

“Modesty has had different definitions over time and in different
regions and communities,” she wrote. “It was not always about covering
your face and body and in many respects India's hot climate led the
way. People just did what was convenient.”
