Hry youth climbs tree in Mumbai to meet Akki, held

MUMBAI :A die-hard fan of Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar performed ‘khiladi-style’ stunts to catch a glimpse of his favourite actor but ended up in the lock-up, police said here on Thursday.

The incident happened late on Tuesday when the 20-year-old Haryana youth Ankit Goswami went to the actor’s building near Juhu Beach, demanding to meet Akshay, but was chased away by the security personnel.

He went away, but returned later in the evening to try his luck again though he was unaware that his idol was not at home.

Goswami climbed onto a parked tempo near the building, to reach the top of the boundary wall and then waited for a couple of hours on a tree branch to avoid detection by the security guards.

Around 1.30 am, he quietly got off the tree and attempted to go to Akshay’s house, but was caught by the security personnel who handed him over to the police.
