Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna have been served a legal notice for auctioning the naval uniform he wore in Rustom because they have played with the sentiments of armed forces personnel and widows of soldiers. The notice has also been sent to auction house SaltScout, which has put out the naval officer uniform for online bidding. As of Wednesday afternoon, the highest bid offered for the uniform -- which includes a shirt, pants and a hat -- was Rs 235,000. The notice said Akshay and Twinkle have “shown no respect for national interest” by putting the “Rustom” uniform up for auction. The film was based on the real life incident of Naval Officer K. M. Nanavati and businessman Prem Ahuja.
