Akshay Kumar’s Bodyguard Shoves Specially-Abled Boy While the Bollywood superstar has been praised for his kind gesture, one of his bodyguards can be seen shoving the specially-abled café boy away from Akshay — earning significant criticism from online viewers. The incident happened when Akshay was walking out of the airport, and a specially-abled person, who is a fan of the actor’s work, tried to approach him, presumably for a selfie. He was halted by Akshay’s bodyguard, who dragged him away and moved him aside.

A humble appeal to the bodyguards—please don’t take that moment away from them,” read one heartfelt message. Earlier in 2024, a similar incident happened when actor Nagarjuna’s bodyguard inadvertently shunted aside a special needs employee of Mitti Café, who was trying to interact with the Telugu star. However, Nagarjuna later went back to the airport to personally apologise and speak with the boy.
