Abhishek Bachchan Loses Temper At Paparazzi, Pushes Camera At Manoj Kumar’s Funeral

Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan were among the many Bollywood celebrities who paid their respects at the funeral of veteran actor Manoj Kumar, held on April 5 at Pawan Hans crematorium in Juhu, Mumbai. The father-son duo was dressed in white kurta-pyjamas paired with black jackets, as they joined others to bid farewell to the late actor.

A video circulating online shows Abhishek Bachchan appearing visibly upset with the paparazzi as they continued taking photographs while he was exiting the crematorium. While Amitabh Bachchan was seen greeting Salim Khan near their car, Abhishek, who was walking just behind, lost his cool. He was seen pushing away the hand of a photographer who was recording him and exchanged a few words with a member of the media before getting into his vehicle. Despite the moment of tension, Abhishek also greeted Salim Khan with a warm hug. Amitabh Bachchan and Salim Khan shared a brief conversation and embraced before parting ways.

Abhishek, who was last seen in Remo D'Souza's film Be Happy-playing a single father learning to dance to support his daughter's dream-was praised for his performance. He will next appear in Housefull 5, alongside Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and others. The film is scheduled for release later this year. He is also reportedly playing the antagonist in Siddharth Anand's upcoming action film King, starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead.
