‘Akshay Kumar Snatched My Phone': Fan Shares His Side Of Story After Actor's Viral Angry Video
A video of Akshay Kumar losing his cool at a fan recording him without his permission in London went viral a few days ago. Now, the fan has shared his version of the story.
Akshay Kumar was recently vacationing in London, and a video showing him getting angry at a fan for recording him without permission went viral on social media. However, the video then showed him posing with the fan for a selfie. Now, the fan has shared a video sharing his side of the story. He claimed that the actor snatched his phone and told him not to take photos or videos since he was busy. After that, Akshay returned his phone, and agreed to click a picture with him. The fan said that there was no big issue, and called Akshay a really nice guy.
The fan shared a new video, in which he said, 'I was standing at the signal on Oxford Street when I saw someone who I thought was Akshay Kumar. To verify, I decided to follow him. First, I took a video from behind. Then, when I tried to record from the front, he saw me, came closer, and directly snatched my phone. Maybe he was busy at the time. He pulled the phone from my hand and also grabbed my hand."
The fan said that Akshay Kumar later returned the phone, and also had a friendly chat with him. 'He (Akshay Kumar) said, 'Sorry beta, I'm busy right now, please don't disturb me and don't take my photo or video.' I told him, 'You could've said that politely. Now please give me my phone back.' After that, Akshay Kumar returned my phone and asked me where I'm from and what I'm doing here. In the end, he even agreed to take a picture with me. There wasn't any major issue between us. He was actually a really nice guy. He looked like he was only 35-40 years old," said the fan.
The fan video went viral on social media. A section of netizens criticized the fan for following and recording Akshay Kumar without his permission, and stating the need for respecting privacy.
Meanwhile, a source shared a contradictory version, saying the sequence of events in the viral video is inaccurate. Speaking about the viral video, a source said, 'The actor obliged the fan, who was a delivery boy, with a selfie, but he continued following him. The incident showcased a starstruck fan who followed Akshay Kumar despite being clicked with him, however, the order of the viral video is incorrect. Akshay had already clicked images with the fan first. Regardless of this, he was followed by the delivery boy on his scooty and was recorded incessantly."
