Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has recently made headlines after a video of him snatching a phone from his fanโ€™s hands went viral on social media. However, the boy in the video has shared another clip spilling the details on the incident.

The fan shared a new video on his Instagram and admitted, โ€œI 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.โ€
He explained, โ€œFirst, 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.โ€

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 further shared, โ€œAfter 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.โ€
