On Friday, Akshay Kumar ‘virtually’ apologised to his fan on Twitter after he was punched by the Khiladi’s bodyguard outside the Mumbai Airport.
The 48-year-old actor tweeted,
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.
According to the reports, the fan was waiting outside the airport and was trying to take a selfie with the ‘Airlift’ star, when the incident took place.
