Khushboo wants Maxim to pay 3 crore
By R. Bhagwan Singh

Chennai, Feb. 15: Actress Khushboo on Wednesday issued a legal notice to the UK-based men’s magazine Maxim demanding Rs 3 crores as damages for publishing an indecent morphed picture of her in its Indian edition last month. Khushboo’s lawyer R. Karthikeyan said the legal notice had been sent to an address in New Delhi on Wednesday evening.

The legal notice, running into eight pages and addressed to Maxim’s chairman, president, editor, deputy editor and art director, demands that the publication pay the money for publishing the morphed picture of the actress in a two-piece bikini, or face legal action.

Mr Karthikeyan said the photograph had caused "loss of reputation and damage" to his client, and that her image had been "lowered" in society. "We want them to cough up the money in three weeks’ time or face legal action," Mr Karthikeyan said.

The publication has been given two weeks’ time to reply to the notice. Mr Karthikeyan said there had been some delay in issuing the notice as the correct address of the publication could not be obtained. But it was finally tracked down to an address in New Delhi.

Khushboo said Maxim’s editor had promised to publish an apology in its next issue. "But I did not see any apology in the magazine," she said, threatening to make the publication pay. "Just an apology is not acceptable," she added.

Maxim issued a statement on Wednesday saying a communiqué had been sent to Khushboo through their lawyers on the issue. Mr Xavier Collaco, president, Media Tranasia, said, "We feel there can be no monetary value attached to the hurt we may have unintentionally caused to the actress. The issue is about assuaging deemed hurt or offence and fiscal compensation does not meet that purpose. In fact, to offer that would tantamount to putting a value on a lady’s dignity. Maxim respects and celebrates women. For us to direct such an offer to the lady would be to demean her."
