Actor Akshay Kumar has apologised to a fan who was punched by his bodyguard at an event.

It was reported that one of the actor’s bodyguards punched a fan when he tried to take a selfie with the actor at the Mumbai airport. A video of the incident was also circulated online.

Kumar made an apology on his Twitter and Facebook page.

“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.”

On the work front, Kumar is busy with Rajinikanth film Robot 2, and will also be soon seen in Housefull 3 and Rustom.
