Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has gone viral on social media after a tense encounter with a fan at an airport, offering a rare glimpse of the cricketer reacting firmly to an invasion of his personal space.
The incident took place while Bumrah was standing in a check-in queue. According to viral videos and reports, a fan began recording a selfie video of the cricketer without seeking permission and continued following him closely.
Despite Bumrah repeatedly and calmly asking the fan to stop filming and respect his privacy, the individual refused to back off and kept the camera pointed at him.
In the video, the exchange can be heard clearly. The fan insists on staying close, while Bumrah responds with restrained but visible frustration. After multiple requests were ignored, Bumrah briefly said “Cool,” then took the phone from the fan’s hand and tossed it aside before moving ahead with his check-in.
The moment quickly spread online, triggering mixed reactions. Some social media users defended Bumrah, saying celebrities also deserve personal space and privacy in public areas. Others felt the situation could have been handled differently, though many acknowledged that the fan crossed a line by continuing to film without consent.
The incident has once again sparked debate around celebrity privacy, fan behavior, and boundaries in public spaces, especially in places like airports where personal security and space are already limited.
