Actress puts her figure on swimsuit "photo"

CHENNAI, India (Reuters) - An Indian actress is seeking 30 million rupees ($677,800) in damages from the local edition of British men's magazine Maxim after it published a faked picture of her in a skimpy swimsuit.

"The photograph has caused loss of reputation and damage to my client and her image has been lowered in society," Khushboo's lawyer R. Karthikeyan said.

"We want them to cough up the money in three weeks or face action," he said, adding Maxim had been sent a legal notice.

A men's lifestyle magazine, Maxim was recently launched in India. It has apologized to Khushboo, a major south Indian star, for causing "inadvertent hurt."

The controversial picture had Khushboo's face on the body of a woman wearing a two-piece swimming costume.

Maxim's India editor, Sunil Mehra, told Reuters the magazine was also publishing an apology in its next issue which would hit the news stands by the end of the month.

"We have already apologized and we are quite taken aback by this (legal notice)," Mehra told Reuters. "We are willing to talk and assuage her hurt feelings. It (the picture) was a spoof and even carried the headline '100 percent fake'."

A mother of two, Khushboo is recovering from a major controversy after she said there was nothing wrong with pre-marital sex as long as the girl protected herself against sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.

Although she apologized for the comments made last year, conservative social and political groups have physically attacked her, including hurling eggs, sandals and tomatoes whenever she steps from her house.

God, that's terrible. She stands up for what are her own personal morales and she gets smacked up like that.

of course if she played it right she could actually become someone everyone's heard of

thats when you know your special,.. when you have people whom stand in front of your house just to throw things at you,.. if I were her I'd get pitching lessons and pick up a few boxes of grenades ;)

where is the police while all this is happening?

that's when you know that people hate you, when they throw thier sandals at you. they'd rather walk around without thier only pair of shoes, then miss the oppurtinuty to hit you with something.
