Actor Kushal Tandon got into a verbal argument with a French local during his recent trip to Paris. It seems that a local, sitting on the next table, spoke rudely to Kushal’s girlfriend Gauahar Khan.

Speaking about the incident, the actor recollects, “We had gone to watch the Moulin Rouge show and there were a few French people sitting at the next table. They were hooting at half-naked girls who were performing in the show. It was quite annoying and other people were getting disturbed, so Gauahar just told one of the guys to stay quiet. But instead of behaving himself, the man turned around and spoke rudely to her.”

The actor says that he was aghast by this behaviour. “He yelled at Gauahar asking her to mind her own business. I was really upset by this and I then asked him to shut up and behave himself.” But did the resulting argument affect the show in any way? “Well, the man was pulled up by the manager. There is no truth to rumours doing the rounds that we were asked to leave the show; we thoroughly enjoyed the show post this incident.”
