Repeortedly, Akshay Kumar may sue a UK tabloid for slander against Shilpa Shetty and giving personal details of her past relationship with him.

During her stay and subsiquent win on 'Celebrity Big Brother' in the UK, the British media took an instant keen interest in Shilpa and her life. As a result, there have been several stories and articles published on her by various tabloids in the UK.

Some rag tabloids have chronicled the personal details of Shilpa’s life. Recently the various legal controversies that Shilpa and her parents have been surrounded in were written about.

But a few days ago, one of the more disreputable UK tabloids, News Of The World, stooped to the lowest level, giving personal details of Shilpa’s past relationship with ex-boyfriend Akshay.

Although Shilpa has decided to keep a dignified silence on the issue, Akshay on the other hand has decided to sue the tabloid.

Akshay is livid because the tabloid claims he has given inside information about Shilpa and his past relationship.

The paper quotes a friend of the actor with whom he supposedly shared the stories as saying "I was the first to bed Shilpa" and "She made me wait before she let me sleep with her."

The tabloid further goes on to give explicit details of Akshay and Shilpa's personal relationship.

Akshay is disgusted with the UK tabloid's article and says "I will never talk about a lady in those terms, this is totally baseless, I've never spoken to the said newspaper and I will seek legal recourse."

Although Akshay is all set to take legal action against the tabloid and protect his ex-girlfriend's reputation, Shilpa is adopting a different tactic, she says "I know that Akshay would never speak like that and these things are best laughed off."
