Actor Rahul Bhat, who was in Paris (France) for a shoot schedule over the weekend, shared firsthand visuals of the chaos in the city following Paris Saint-Germain’s (PSG) 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League (club association football competition) on Saturday. The celebrations resulted in clashes between fans and police. Rahul had shared a series of Instagram Stories, showing the chaos.

The 47-year-old, who arrived in Mumbai on Monday, tells us, “I was celebrating my evening in Paris. But after the PSG victory, it seemed like everyone came out in the streets. People were enjoying and suddenly things got ugly. Somehow, I was caught in the public frenzy.”

Not being versed in the local language, Rahul was clueless. But sought help from the local police tasked with controlling the crowd: “They understood that I was stuck and sheltered me. Bahut scary ho gaya tha. Lag raha tha ki aaj toh kuch gadbad hoga. My phone’s battery was also drained. I couldn’t book a cab and had to walk back to the hotel... Bach gaye bas.”

As per reports, the clashes across France resulted in two deaths, 192 injuries, and 559 arrests. In Paris, cars were torched and bus shelters vandalized by celebrating fans.
