Ranbir Kapoor seems to have hit upon a novel way of dealing with the paparazzi; simply take away their cameras. The actor along with pals Ayan Mukerji and Aarti Shetty, stepped out of a Bandra hotspot late on Thursday night and there was a gaggle of cameras outside as usual.

One of the TV camerapersons allegedly gave chase to the trio and then, the actor who has often spoken about his dislike for intruding cameras, allegedly lost his cool and a skirmish ensued.

An eye witness said, “Ranbir told the gathered photographers, ‘Chalo chase karo, race karo’. A TV cameraperson then blocked the path of Ranbir’s car with his own vehicle. Ranbir then stepped out and so did the cameraman who started shooting again.” What happened next surprised all. “Ranbir was really angry by now. He snatched away the camera saying ‘Kya shoot kiya hai, dikha’. He refused to hand the camera back to him and told him, ‘Apne boss ko bol mere ghar se le jayega’,” added the eye witness. So where is the object, which was at the centre of the friction, now?

 A source added, “The entertainment editor of channel spoke to the actor in the morning after which an official from the channel was sent to collect the camera.”
