Salman Khan is seen in viral footage reprimanding his driver after a fan’s foot is reportedly caught under his car during chaotic crowd movement outside politician Ashish Shelar’s residence in Mumbai during Ganpati celebrations.
According to reports, Salman visits Shelar’s home to seek blessings on Thursday, September 17, and leaves as a large crowd of fans gathers near his vehicle. As security personnel try to clear a path, the car attempts to move through the crowd. In the incident described by outlets, the tyre appears to run over or catch a fan’s foot, prompting calls for the driver to reverse and Salman to react immediately.
The clips circulating online lead to differing interpretations. Some social media users criticize Salman for allegedly being rude to his driver, based on a short video. Others share a longer version, saying the situation escalates due to fans crowding close, with the driver unable to see clearly, and that Salman’s response is directed at ensuring the driver addresses the dangerous situation. Both outlets note that the broader context of Ganpati-related crowd congestion shapes how the incident is understood.
