Wing Commander sent notice

Wing Commander Soumyadeep Das says that the kissing scene of Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone is an insult to the Air Force uniform.

He says that the film makers should give in writing that in future they will not disrespect the Air Force soldiers and uniforms in this way.
