Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri

A mobile phone ad featuring New York-born Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri on the front page of an Urdu daily newspaper Jung has sparked outrage in Pakistan for being "obscene".

Fakhri did the ads as the brand ambassador for Mobilink (Pakistan Mobile Communications Limited), a GSM cellular operator in the country, which had launched four 3G phones. Int he photographs, she's lying down in a red dress, with the phone in her hand.

Soon after it was published on Sunday, several people criticised the ad for being cheap, while others saw the funny side of the protests.
