Akshay Kumar snaps at fan for filming him without consent in London, watch here

Akshay Kumar gets angry in London

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar found himself in an uncomfortable situation while enjoying a quiet stroll through London’s bustling Oxford Street.

A video that has since gone viral captures the actor visibly upset after being filmed without consent by an overzealous fan.

The clip shows Akshay trying to snatch the fan’s phone in an attempt to stop the recording — a rare public display of frustration from the usually composed star.

Wearing a charcoal grey tank top, matching shorts, and a beanie, Akshay was walking alone when the fan began trailing him, recording the encounter. Upon realising he was being filmed, the actor turned around and confronted the individual, appearing visibly annoyed.

In the video, he is seen attempting to take the man’s phone and instructing him to stop, urging the fan to leave him alone. Interestingly, despite the tense exchange, Akshay eventually agreed to pose for a selfie with the same fan — a moment that left social media divided.

The video quickly sparked debate online, with many netizens sympathising with the actor and criticising the fan’s behaviour. “Thoda privacy de do bhai,” one user wrote, urging for boundaries to be respected.

Another chimed in, “When people will have civic sense not to film someone without their consent? Shameful act." A more amused viewer observed, “Last mai pic bhi li bhai sath mai .. coolness and angriness dono dekhli bhai. Akki seth ji.”

Defending the actor’s reaction, another fan commented, “Every moment doesn’t need to be filmed. Respect his space.”

Professionally, Akshay Kumar remains one of Bollywood’s busiest stars. He will next appear in Priyadarshan’s horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, alongside Wamiqa Gabbi and Paresh Rawal. The much-delayed Hera Pheri 3 is also back on track with Suniel Shetty and Rawal.

In addition, he leads Welcome to the Jungle, a mega-entertainer featuring a star-studded ensemble of over 15 actors. Upcoming titles like Jolly LLB 3 and Haiwaan — which marks his on-screen reunion with Saif Ali Khan after 17 years — further solidify Akshay’s enduring presence in Indian cinema.
