Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone-starrer Fighter, has received a legal notice over a kissing scene between the lead actors.

According to an India TV report, an officer of the Indian Air Force, Wing Commander Saumya Deep Das, has given the notice.

Notice against Fighter over kissing scene

The notice has the subject line–Legal Notice for Defamation, Insult and Negative Impact of Indian Air Force and its Officers. It read, ”It embodies the highest ideals of sacrifice, discipline, and unwavering dedication to protecting our nation. By utilizing this sacred symbol for a scene promoting personal romantic entanglements, the film grossly misrepresents its inherent dignity and devalues the profound sacrifices made by countless officers in service of our nation.”

Fighter ‘normalises inappropriate behaviour in uniform’

It also added, “Moreover, it normalies inappropriate behaviour in uniform, setting a dangerous precedent that undermines the moral and ethical standards expected from those entrusted with safeguarding our borders. Kissing in uniform, on a runway which comes under the purview of a technical area, while portrayed as romantic, is considered grossly inappropriate and unbecoming of an IAF officer, as it contradicts the high standards of discipline and decorum expected from them.”
