Recently, Akshay Kumar was holidaying in London when his angry video of stopping a fan for recording him without permission went viral on social media. He even posed with the fan for a selfie later. Now, the person has posted a clarification video, sharing the story behind the incident. He claimed that the actor snatched his phone and told him not to record him because he was busy. After that, the issue was resolved quickly, they talked and clicked a picture together.
In the video, the fan can be heard saying, “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.”

“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,” he added.
