This week's Open Magazine column by Masand, is an old story, nevertheless interesting. Here you go.

He might like us to believe that he’s a fearless star, but a filmmaker who directed him in a two-hero musical a few years ago has a very different story to tell. Turns out that while the muscleman hero was in the capital promoting the director’s film, he bashed up the Sikh boyfriend of a female fan who was sidling up to him at his hotel bar all evening. Bruised and angry, the boyfriend left the bar in a huff, but returned an hour later with a gang of armed friends. Hotel authorities reportedly distracted the angry gang in the lobby for 15 minutes, and warned the star and his brother (who were still in the bar) to rush away to their rooms immediately.

The actor and his brother locked themselves in his room, even as the angry gang reportedly knocked at almost every door in the hotel searching for the star. The actor, now visibly shaken, called up the director to help him out of the mess, but the filmmaker was in Mumbai and said there was little he could do from so far away.

Eventually, the hotel authorities had to threaten to call the police if the gang didn’t leave the premises. Having failed at locating the star, the gang left after damaging some hotel property. Meanwhile, the star and his brother, who were reportedly cowering in their room when they finally allowed the hotel manager in, demanded that the hotel stay mum about the entire incident, and offered compensation for all the property damaged in return for their silence

Definitely Salman!

akshay kumar would of easily defended himself as he knows martial arts and parkour. So it can't be him.

salman beats up press openly when he is angry.. he just can't be the one... got to be akshay kumar or something.. all that khiladi stuff.. also sounds like john abraham.. because Sallu bhai is honest and if it is him, the only reason he would have hidden would have been because the media can't get enough of bashing him coz they get TRP's even showing Sallu's face on their channel! And whichever actor it is, I don't think what they did was wrong, because it is the boyfriend and his friends to be blamed.. he must have manhandled his girlfriend or something for an actor to react that way.. and getting your gang of friends coz you couldn't control your girl is dumb!

SALMAN only worked with Vipul only ONCE, London Dreams. Thats it, they said actor has worked with him TWICE
Akshay has always worked with him countless times last known Namesty London, Action Replay!!!
Akshay is known to be a flirt, Salman is not.
BTW Salman is always surrounded by his gang of Bodyguards and friend

Anonymous's picture

It is Akshay - Khiladi is fearless,

Salman would be with Shera, for sure, and seems not rela that Salman is callign to vipul Shah, it is just fantasy nothing more,

do not know whether this story is true or not, but definitely it is not Salman

just this topic is for Slaman haters (Sarukh, ash fans- that's big shame on you!) blamign the facts you do not know!

Not Akshay Kumar as he can do real martial art. Had to be Salman, he ran away after killing people in street.

Salman coward khan. The reason why Vivek oberois career got damaged. That is clearly Bollywood loss

Finally someone wise enough to see that Vivek remained the victim in all this. I wish him the best 2nd innings in the industry. He didnt deserve what he got. we all make mistakes!

Akshay Kumar -actor, Shirish Kunder - director. Both losers."

Akshay Kumar doesnt have a brother. It's Salman Khan and his brother

Anonymous's picture

Where was Shera? Salman's bodyguard? Definitely it is not Salman,
the matter is not that the man has not right to be scared, just doe snot look like Salman, because his both bodyguards, and mostly Shera is always with him.

btw Khiladi also means fearless, so do not stick on Salman, please, definitely it is not him

the story pointed to Salman, but seems unreal, why should Salman call to Vipul Shah to searching the help he has enough friends in all parts of India to be more safe, rather to call director, actually who is not capable to do anything

and why complain Salman (if it is true) not to join the gang battle, he was in trouble many times, because this kind of provocation, so it is better to him to stay away form such kind a thing

and i really miss Shera factor, where Shera has been that time, he is always with Salman, definitely,

the story does not sound like it is about Salman

this is why i hate him...thinks to much of himself

Anonymous's picture

i wish he beat up all his die-hard fans like this one day so they can finally realize they the person they are idolizing is not even worth their respect. this is not the first time that he beat up a fan, he slapped his fan once for hugging him....he broke his fan's camera for clicking his pic without permission now common which celebrity is being asked before clicking pics....if u roam around in public places(hes always being seen in local coffee shops and rickshaws etc) people will recognize u and take ur pictures... respect these people who made u what ur today because neither u have talent and sadly dont even have looks now:-(
