Akshay Kumar recently found himself in a tense situation while strolling through the streets of London. A video that has now gone viral shows the actor visibly upset after a fan began recording him without asking for permission. Dressed casually in a dark grey tank top, shorts, and a beanie, Akshay was walking alone when the fan approached him with the camera rolling.
In the clip, the actor is seen confronting the individual and even attempting to snatch the phone from their hand. However, the situation quickly de-escalated, and Akshay agreed to take a selfie with the fan.
The incident has sparked debate online. While many social media users supported Akshay’s reaction, citing the importance of respecting a celebrity’s personal space, others criticised the actor for losing his cool. One user wrote, “When will people have the civic sense not to film someone without their consent? It’s a shameful act. You could have normally asked for a selfie.” Another added, “Why do you publicly take someone’s photo without asking? They have a private life, let it be private.” “Another Indian embarrassing the nation on foreign soil,” a comment read. One user expressed frustration, “He’s on a break, not a shoot?? Let him live yarr.”
Some questioned the intensity of his response, with one user asking, “Bhai guussa ku hua vo.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Akshay was last seen in Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani. He will next appear in Bhooth Bangla, alongside Wamiqa Gabbi and Paresh Rawal. His upcoming slate also includes Hera Pheri 3, Welcome to the Jungle, Jolly LLB 3, Haiwaan, and Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat.
