Salman scolds driver after car accidentally runs over fan's foot amid chaos. Watch

Actor Salman Khan scolded his driver after a fan’s foot came under his car during his visit to a Ganpati celebration in Mumbai. A video of the incident surfaced online and showed Khan, seated in the passenger seat, speaking sharply to the driver as he appeared to explain what had happened.

The incident took place on Thursday when Khan's car arrived for a Ganpati celebration hosted by Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar. Videos from the visit also drew attention to his interaction with a young fan, with one clip showing him objecting after the child was pushed in the crowd and then pausing to speak to him before shaking hands and getting into his car.

In the clip of the latest incident, Khan was seen inside the vehicle while the car was surrounded by heavy security and a large crowd of fans. He stepped out of the vehicle after the brief exchange with the driver.

Videos from the visit showed Khan arriving amid tight security, folding his hands before Bappa and offering prayers with a tilak on his forehead. As he walked back towards his car after the prayers, a young fan approached him in the middle of the crowd. When the child was pushed in the rush, Khan objected, then stopped to speak to him.

Earlier Ganpati celebrations with family

The visit came soon after Khan joined Ganpati festivities at brother Sohail Khan’s home. He took part in the traditional aarti with his siblings and other family members before the Ganpati idol was immersed.

Videos from that celebration also captured a light-hearted moment with sister Arpita Khan, who noticed that Salman was performing the aarti the wrong way and quickly stepped in to correct him. Salman laughed before agreeing with her. He was also seen joining Iulia Vantur during the aarti, while Arhaan Khan, Arbaaz Khan’s son, helped with the immersion of the idol.

Salman has also been seen at other Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations this season, including the Ambani family’s event in Mumbai, where videos showed him offering prayers to Lord Ganpati. His appearance there also went viral online.

On the work front, Salman is preparing for his next film with director Vamshi Paidipally and will star opposite Nayanthara in their first on-screen pairing. He has also been sporting a leaner look ahead of the project. His film Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace, originally announced as Battle Of Galwan, remains on hold after initially being targeted for an Eid 2026 release.
