Actor
Shakti Kapoor has once again fallen in the midst of controversies. The
actor has been accused of misbehaving with a Nepali actress, creating a
new controversy over Indian film stars in the Himalayan country.
“Indian actor Shakti Kapoor has shown his (true) nature (in Nepal) by misbehaving with Nepali actress Rekha Thapa,” a Nepali tabloid Wednesday said in a front-page report.
The Naya Patrika daily, known for its sensational reports, said that while shooting for a Bhojpuri film, Hum Hai Hero Hindustani in Birgunj town in south Nepal, the 52-year-old actor, famous for his portrayal of a plotting, lascivious villain, had used a derogatory word about heroine Thapa and also tried to grab her hand. According to the report, the Bollywood actor asked Thapa during shooting if she had a bottle of Coke with her. When she said she was not sure, the actor reportedly used an abusive word and tried to grab her hand.
When Thapa protested angrily and an altercation broke out between the two, another Indian actor who is also cast in the film, telestar Shahbaz Khan, reportedly tried to intervene. The tabloid said an outraged Thapa threatened to abandon the film but was mollified after Kapoor tendered an apology. Source
