Nakuul Mehta on a horrifying taxi incident

Television heartthrob, Nakuul Mehta who is seen as Shivaay Singh Oberoi in ‘Ishqbaaaz’, was recently caught up in a kerfuffle with a taxi driver.

The actor, who is only just getting over his bank account getting hacked, was left in an uncomfortable position after an incident in a taxi on Saturday morning.

Explaining what had happened, Mehta told Bombay Times, “I’ve never had any issues with app-based cab services, but this was horrifying. We were on Link Road at Andheri when my driver suddenly took a dangerous turn to scare another driver who overtook him. Later, he started abusing the other guy loudly. When I asked him to go easy on the filthy language and behaviour, he started arguing with me, insisting that this was the correct way to behave with such menace.”

Adding to this, Mehta said, “I asked him to just drive to the destination and to my shock, he just stopped the car and asked me to leave. I agreed, but asked him to wait till I booked another cab as I had luggage with me. But he refused to understand and started driving again. I had to eventually stop him by holding on to the steering wheel of the car, and that’s when he charged at my hand. Luckily, the second cab I booked arrived soon and I went my way.”

Mehta said that the driver was suspended after he tweeted about the incident.
