Actor Arjun Rampal, who attended the special screening of a Hollywood flick at Santa Cruz late Monday night along with wife Mehr Jesia and Sussanne Khan, flew off the handle after a lensman pursued the trio for pictures.

An eyewitness outside the screening said, “To avoid media glare, Arjun and Co. left the preview from the back exit, which leads to the parking area, and they drove out. Arjun was behind the wheels with Mehr sitting by his side and a woman, who looked like Sussanne, was in the back seat. She kept ducking to avoid the shutterbugs.” Arjun has been steering clear of the media ever since news about the Hrithik Roshan- Sussanne Khan split was announced.

The eye witness added, “Arjun took a right from the preview venue followed by a car with just the driver in it. A media car followed him. As soon as the actor stopped the car at the turning of the lane, the cameraman got out and started clicking pictures. Arjun got upset over this and chased him, hurling abuses.”

The actor remained unavailable for comment.
