Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is once again making headlines, but this time it isn't related to his upcoming film. A video of the actor losing his temper at his driver after a Ganesh Utsav visit has gone viral on social media.
Salman is currently busy shooting for his upcoming film directed by Vamsi Paidipally, with Nayanthara reportedly playing the female lead. While the film's official title is yet to be announced, the project has already generated considerable curiosity among fans.
Amid his busy schedule, Salman has also been participating in Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations with his family and friends. A recent video from one such visit has now attracted attention online.
Salman Khan Was Visiting a Ganpati Celebration
Salman Khan recently visited politician Ashish Shelar's residence during the Ganpati celebrations to seek Lord Ganesha's blessings.
As soon as the actor arrived, a large crowd gathered around his vehicle. Fans tried to get a glimpse of Salman, making it extremely difficult for his car to move through the packed area.
The actor was seen requesting people with folded hands to make way. His security team also appeared to be struggling to control the crowd around the vehicle.
Why Did Salman Get Angry at His Driver?
The situation reportedly became tense when Salman's driver attempted to move the car through the crowd.
According to reports circulating alongside the viral video, a fan's foot allegedly came under the vehicle while the car was being moved forward. The incident caused confusion among the people surrounding the car, with photographers and others reportedly asking the driver to reverse immediately.
A video from the incident shows Salman appearing visibly upset with his driver. He can be seen scolding him and gesturing toward him while the driver appears to explain what happened.
The clip has sparked considerable discussion on social media, with viewers interpreting the actor's reaction in different ways.
Video Creates Buzz on Social Media
Initially, some social media users criticised Salman over his reaction to the driver. However, as details surrounding the incident emerged, some viewers began interpreting the actor's response differently.
The reported presence of a large crowd around the vehicle appears to have made the situation particularly difficult to control. The priority at that moment was to ensure that the injured person could be moved away from the car safely.
However, the exact circumstances of the reported injury and what happened immediately before and after the incident cannot be established solely from the short viral clip.
Salman Continues to Balance Work and Festive Celebrations
Despite the controversy surrounding the video, Salman Khan continues to juggle his professional commitments with festive appearances.
The actor is currently working on Vamsi Paidipally's upcoming project, while also making appearances at Ganpati celebrations with family and friends.
The viral clip has once again demonstrated how closely the superstar's public appearances are followed, with even brief moments quickly becoming topics of discussion across social media.
Bottom Line
Salman Khan's reaction to his driver during a crowded Ganpati visit has gone viral. Reports suggest the actor became upset after a fan was allegedly injured while the vehicle was being moved through the crowd. While the video has attracted criticism as well as support, the complete circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear from the footage alone.
