Twinkle Khanna was in for a rude shock when an Indian Navy Officer threatened her with violence for auctioning Akshay Kumar's 'Rustom' uniform. In an elongated post on Facebook, Lt Col Sandeep Ahlawat slammed the author-producer saying that uniform isn't a piece of cloth to make some quick bucks. "You touch our honor and we will give you a bloody nose," he wrote.

As a society do we really think it’s all right to threaten a woman with bodily harm for trying to raise funds for a charity by auctioning a uniform used in a movie,a piece of film memorabilia ? I will not retaliate with violent threats but by taking legal action! #JaiHind https://t.co/OF7e5lTHel
