Just a few days ago, a video started doing the rounds of Akshay Kumar‘s bodyguard punching a fan who was trying to take a selfie with the actor. In it, you can see that Akshay slightly turned around after the incident took place, but then walked off.
Watch the video:
Now, the actor has released a statement on the incident. Here’s what he said:
What happened that day was unfortunate and uncalled for. I was at the airport and I heard a commotion which made me turn around, I didn’t notice anything wrong so I walked on. It was later brought to my notice that my bodyguard had punched a fan. I have reprimanded him and given him a strict warning for the same. My sincere apology to the fan who was hurt. I hold my fans in the highest regard and such incidents are always upsetting. I will ensure such a scenario is avoided in the future.
