Salman Khan snatches phone out of a fan's hands, smashes it to the ground

Over the past few days, Salman Khan had grabbed headlines for his sudden genial mood. He hugged Shah Rukh at an iftaar party and then dropped his guards to openly speak about his peers at a recent press conference. But looks like the good temperament was not to have a long run. Onlookers say around 4 pm yesterday Salman had a run-in with a fan near his home.

It was while he was crossing a Bandra hospital frequented by stars, that passers-by and fans gathered around his car to click pictures of him. From behind the rolled-down windows, Salman grabbed a fan's mobile phone and smashed it on the road below. An onlooker says, `He was crossing the hospital where the ailing Dilip Kumar has been put up. He was on his way to a shoot when he turned to head back home.
