Media reports in India Today said that police posted on duty rushed to the spot and apprehended the fan.

The Bollywood actor previously caused controversy by claiming that there was ‘colour discrimination' in Indian show business.

In another controversy, he included details of his romantic flings in his memoirs without consent from women he had relationships with. He later withdrew his autobiography and apologised to people whom he had hurt in the process.
