He explained, “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.”

However, the fan further noted that Akshay later returned his phone and had a conversation with him. The actor also apologised to the fan.

The fan recalled in the video, “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.’”

The fan further shared, “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.”
