During a meet-and-greet with his fans in Mumbai on Wednesday, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar broke the Guinness World Record for the most selfies taken in three minutes.
Akshay said he is ‘ecstatic on breaking the record and sharing the special moment with his fans. “Everything that I have achieved so far and where I am at this moment of my life, is due to the unconditional love and support of my fans everywhere. This was my way of paying a special tribute to them, of acknowledging how they have stood by me and my work in my entire career,” the actor added.
The actor broke the previously held world record of 168 selfies taken in three minutes by James Smith (USA) aboard the Carnival Dream cruise ship on January 22, 2018. In 2015, Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson held this record with 105 selfies in three minutes at the premiere of San Andreas in London.
