Well, the incident took place while he was in Port Louis for the shooting of his upcoming movie ‘Aksar 2’ earlier this year.
Gautam visited a Hanuman temple which had 108 steps. After the darshan, when the actor came down to put on his shoes again, he found them missing. After a bit of search he realized the pair has actually been flicked.
Reports say he had to rush to a mall in socks to buy another pair of shoes.
There’s a saying that if one loses shoes from a shrine, bad spirits vanish from his/her soul. However, only time will tell whether this 'good riddance' actually has had a positive impact on his suspense drama that releases this Friday. The movie also stars Zareen Khan and is directed by Anant Mahadevan.
