Hrithik had been slapped with a criminal notice for “hurting religious sentiments” for his tweet on the Pope. The actor made the comment on his social networking handle, after Kangana Ranaut’s “silly ex” comment.

In January, the actor tweeted, "Ther r more chances of me having had an affair with d Pope dan any of d (Im sure wonderful) women d media hs ben naming (sic)."

Abraham Mathai, All India President of the Indian Christian Voice, an organisation representing the larger interests of the Christian community, including Roman Cathorlics, slapped Hrithik with the notice on Monday.

The notice also said that by making such a statement on a public platform Hrithik has not only willfully challenged the chastity of the respected Pope but has also shown him in poor light.

Hrithik also posted another tweet, taking about a 'pope fish'. While some say it was another joke, others say it was the actor taking about a particular fresh water fish.
