Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar made headlines recently after a video of him losing his cool at a fan in London and snatching his phone went viral. The fan, in a new video, has now revealed what actually went down between the two and how Akshay indeed got angry and even grabbed his hand in a fit of rage.
In a video, the fan, who goes by the name Harry on Instagram, said that he first spotted Akshay while he was standing at a signal on Oxford Street. "I thought I saw Akshay, so to verify, I followed him. I even took a video from behind. Then, when I tried to record him from the front, he saw me, came closer and snatched my phone. He also grabbed my hand and asked me to not disturb him and record him," he narrated.
He went on to say, "I told him that we are in UK and he cannot touch me without my consent. Akshay asked me to not record him as he was busy and I told him that he could have said the same thing politely as well. He said, 'Sorry beta, I am busy right now'. I asked him to return my phone, which he did."
The fan stated that Akshay then calmed down and asked him where he was from, and after a brief chat, agreed to click a photo with him. "There wasn't any major issue between us. He was actually a really nice guy," the fan concluded.
The video of Akshay had gone viral as the actor is rarely seen losing his calm, and is often seen interacting with his fans in a rather casual and friendly manner. Netizens criticised the actor for his behaviour, however, he himself has not reacted to the backlash yet.
