EXCLUSIVE: Salman Khan Mobile Phone Row: A detailed account of what happened in Mumbai
Did Salman Khan really snatch someone's phone while cycling on his way to Andheri? Read the details of what actually happened
On Wednesday evening, Salman Khan was supposed to be present at Yash Raj Studios in the evening to shoot a few promotional videos for his upcoming mega budget period drama Bharat. The superstar is known to be someone who loves taking the road on his e-cycle. This evening wasn't any different.
But soon, there were reports when a journalist named Ashok Shyamlal Pandey claimed that once they spotted Salman on their way, he started clicking his videos after taking permission from the actor's bodyguard. Apparently, this didn't go down well with the Dabangg Khan and there was a major argument that happened. He also alleged that Salman Khan's bodyguards misbehaved with him and his fellow cameraman and that the superstar snatched away his phone.
But an onlooker, who was present while this entire incident was happening, has a different story to share. The person told Pinkvilla, "Salman was cycling on the road when all of a sudden, these two guys came and started driving right next to him. After that, they constantly kept on clicking videos of the actor. Salman gestured and asked them not to do that. In fact, his bodyguards and team members who were following him behind, came ahead and requested the guys to stop shooting immediately. One of the guys got down from the car and pretended like they had to take something out of the car boot. After that, they again continued moving and clicking videos. When Salman saw this, he again warned them but they didn't pay heed to him. This was also causing a traffic jam, and then, Salman came and took away his phone. But after cycling a little ahead, he gave it to his bodyguards who returned the phone to the man."
There have been several instances in the past too where Bollywood celebrities have faced a similar mishap. This incident also raises an important question - is it okay to click someone despite them saying no?
