Akshay Kumar, who is currently enjoying a family vacation in London, recently found himself at the centre of a social media storm after a video went viral showing him seemingly snapping at a fan for filming him without permission. The actor, who was also spotted at Lord’s Cricket Ground with wife Twinkle Khanna during the India vs England Test match, was followed by a fan riding a delivery scooter, sparking a debate over celebrity privacy and fan behavior.
Akshay Kumar fan incident sparks debate: Here’s why the internet got it wrong and this is what happened
The video in question showed the actor appearing visibly frustrated as he confronted the fan. At first glance, many believed that Akshay lost his temper without provocation. However, insiders close to the actor have clarified the full context behind the clip—and it turns out the viral video is misleading.
According to a source, “The actor obliged the fan, who was actually a delivery boy, with a selfie, but he continued following him. The incident showcased a starstruck fan who followed Akshay Kumar despite being clicked with him. However, the order of the viral video is incorrect. Akshay had already clicked images with the fan first. Regardless of this, he was followed by the delivery boy on his scooty and was recorded incessantly.”
The delivery person reportedly began trailing Akshay after the selfie, filming him without consent for an extended period. This led to Akshay’s discomfort and eventual reaction—highlighting a growing concern among celebrities when it comes to maintaining personal boundaries during public appearances.

While some criticized, many of them have now come to his defence, stating that public figures deserve their personal space, especially when spending time with family. The incident serves as a reminder that while fans may be excited to meet their favorite stars, there is a line between admiration and intrusion.
This episode has reignited the conversation around celebrity privacy in public spaces. With mobile phones constantly rolling, stars often find themselves under 24/7 surveillance—even during their off-duty moments. Akshay’s incident underscores the importance of consent and respect, both online and offline.
