VIDEO: Call to ban Bollywood actor Salman from Goa after he snatches fan's mobile

Bollywood actor Salman Khan and controversies can't remain away from each other for too long as the hot-tempered actor is well known for his arrogant behaviour.

There is no doubt that there is a humane side to the actor but most of the time it is his attitude which steals the limelight.

On Tuesday the actor created a stir after a video of him snatching a mobile phone from the hands of a Goa airport staffer who tried to click a selfie with him went viral.

Soon after brickbats began to pour in from various sections of the society as the video went viral.

The student wing of the Congress, National Students' Union of India (NSUI), urged Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to ban Khan from entering Goa if he did not apologise publicly.

Goa BJP General Secretary and former MP Narendra Sawaikar has also slammed Khan for his "deplorable" behaviour and demanded an unconditional apology.

The incident occurred when Khan, who is in Goa to shoot for an upcoming film, landed at the Goa International Airport in Dabolim on Tuesday morning.

In the video, an Airport Authority of India (AAI) official could be seen walking ahead of Khan near the departure gate and taking photos with the actor walking in the backdrop. After a few seconds, the irritated actor snatched his phone and walked towards a waiting car.

The NSUI has demanded an apology from the actor. "I request your kind authority to look into this matter with utter seriousness and demand an apology from the actor on a public platform since it was a disgrace to the fan publicly, failing which such violent actors with a bad track record should not be allowed to visit Goa in the future," Goa NSUI President Ahraz Mulla said in a letter to Chief Minister Sawant.

The Goa BJP has also condemned the incident. "Being a celebrity, people and your fans will take selfies in public places. Your attitude and behaviour is most deplorable. You have to tender an unconditional public apology @BeingSalmanKhan," Sawaikar tweeted.

A senior official at the Goa airport also confirmed the incident and said that airport staffers had been cautioned against taking selfies with VIP guests.
