Akshay Kumar loses cool at a fan for placing hand on his shoulder; says, 'Haath niche rakho'

Akshay Kumar fumes at his fans

Akshay Kumar recently found himself in a moment of irritation while interacting with fans. The actor, who was spotted at Mumbai airport with his daughter Nitara, lost his cool when a fan crossed the line during a photo opportunity.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, Akshay can be seen dressed casually in a black shirt and olive green pants. As he prepared to board his flight, a group of fans gathered around him, eager to take pictures. The actor, maintaining his usual composure, instructed them to pose together for a group photo. However, things took an awkward turn when one fan placed his hand on Akshay’s shoulder while posing.

Without missing a beat, the actor turned to the fan and sternly said, “Haath niche karo.” Though his tone was firm, Akshay continued to smile as he walked away.

The clip quickly spread across social media platforms. Netizens discussed boundaries and etiquette when meeting celebrities. Many users came to Akshay’s defence, arguing that his reaction was justified. One comment read, “At least know your basics, how to behave. He’s not your uncle’s son.” Another added, “He did nothing wrong. Anyone would react the same way if a stranger touched them without permission.”

Several others praised the actor for calmly asserting personal boundaries while setting an example for others. “Good job, Akshay, for teaching basic manners. No one should touch celebrities without consent,” a user wrote.

On the work front, Akshay will soon be seen sharing screen space with Saif Ali Khan in Priyadarshan’s Haiwaan, co-produced by KVN Productions and Thespian Films. He will also star in the horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla.
