The wink, remember? Who doesn’t remember the wink by Malayalam actress Priya Prakash Varrier was one of the most trending thing on the internet. But there are some people who didn’t like her wink and filed a complaint accusing her of hurting sentiments with her wink in a popular song of her upcoming movie “Oru Adaar Love”.

“Somebody in a film sings a song and you have no other job but to file a case,” Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra said. The Hyderabad police filed the complaint against the 18-year-old actress on the charge of “deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings.”

The actor had petitioned the top court saying the song praises the love between the Prophet Mohammed and his first wife Khadeeja and “has been misunderstood by the complainants”. She had also said it was a traditional song sung by Muslims in north Kerala’s Malabar region.
