Akshay Kumar said that the ‘fans’ ran away after the incident.
Akshay Kumar said that while this incident happened, he was sitting far away and watched as the security got confused about which man to catch first.
Akshay Kumar recalled that two ‘fans’ asked an actress for a photo and when they were about to take the picture, one of the men kissed her on her cheeks without her consent and ran away. This throwback clip has resurfaced on Reddit, with netizens calling out the ‘causal harassment’ of actresses.
Akshay Kumar said in the video, “Naam nahi loonga. Ek heroine thi, toh 2 ladke aaye aur main door baitha hua tha, main dekh raha tha. Voh ladke aaye aur bole, ‘Ek photo?’ Yeh photo liya aur usne bola, ‘1, 2, 3.’ Jaisehi 3 bola, he kissed her. Now see the plan, he kissed her and ran this side. The other one ran that side.”
The actor continued, “The security didn’t understand whether to catch the man who took the photo or the one who kissed her. He got confused and they both ran away.” Ranveer Singh, who was also in the video, said, “Yeh dekho, badmashi.” Akshay continued, “Ab voh photo jayegi, ‘Dekho, isko kiss kiya Maine. Tu kar sakta hai kya?’”
Netizens flocked to the comments section to express their hot takes. One person wrote, “That’s so traumatizing.” Another wrote in a sarcastic tone, “Haha, casual sexual assault of a heroine, how hilarious!” One person wrote, “Badmashi? Ranveer, it’s called molestation the last time I checked.” Another added, “Then Bro did the same in Kambakkht Ishq.”
The video has gone viral on Reddit at a time when the Hema Committee Report has the Indian film industry in rapt attention. The Justice Hema Committee Report has sent shockwaves through the Malayalam film industry, bringing to light the widespread discrimination and exploitation of women within the industry. The report has sparked intense discussions across various sectors, with many hailing it as a necessary step toward reform.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Akshay Kumar is currently seen in Khel Khel Mein. The film also features Taapsee Pannu, Fardeen Khan, Pragya Jaiswal, Ammy Virk and Aditya Seal in prominent roles. However, the film faced a three-way clash with Shraddha Kapoor starrer Stree 2 and John Abraham starrer Vedaa and did not perform per expectations at the box office.
