Did Aishwarya Rai’s bouncer slap BEST bus driver after car collision? What we know

A scuffle broke out on Wednesday, March 26, following a minor collision between a BEST bus and Aishwarya Rai's car near Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow on Juhu Tara Road. Reportedly, Aishwarya’s bouncer slapped the bus driver after the incident.

The situation was resolved later when the bungalow staff apologised, and the BEST bus driver decided not to file a police complaint.

Why Aishwarya's bouncer slapped the bus driver

According to a report by Free Press Journal, the incident occurred when a BEST bus (number 8021, route 231) had just left the Juhu bus depot and brushed against a luxury car (MH02-GG-5050) near Amitabh Bachchan's residence. When the bus driver stopped to assess the damage, a bouncer allegedly confronted and slapped him.

The driver then contacted the police by dialing 100. Upon their arrival, the police tried to mediate, with the bungalow's supervisor offering an apology on behalf of the bouncer. After the apology, the driver opted not to file charges and resumed his journey towards the Santacruz station, reported Free Press Journal.

Was Aishwarya Rai present in the car?

No injuries were reported following the collision of the car and the BEST bus. Although the car belongs to Aishwarya Rau Bachchan, she was not present in the vehicle at the time of the incident.
