Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal apparently lost his cool and 'pushed' photographers who got close to his daughters Mahikaa and Myra on the red carpet of Justin Bieber's Mumbai concert.

According to a report in SpotboyE, some photographers tried getting closer to Arjun Rampal's daughters Mahikaa and Myra to click their pictures. This got Arjun Rampal annoyed and the actor stopped an interview on the red carpet mid-way and pushed the photographers away.

Arjun Rampal left the red carpet with his daughters and headed to the venue of the concert. The report also states that he didn't end up attending the concert after seeing the crowd at DY Patil Stadium.

Grammy Award winning Canadian singer Justin Bieber performed to a stadium full of his fans, who were excited, emotional and euphoric as the 'Baby' singer took the stage in India for the first time on Wednesday night. The 23-year-old Prince of Pop is here as part of his Purpose World Tour, organised by White Fox India.

In the run up to the headlining act, DJ Sartek and DJ Zaeden set the ball rolling, paving the stage for Norwegian DJ Alan Walker, who has a huge fan following of his own.

There were fans dressed in black T-shirts with 'BELIEBER' written across them, and those flaunting tees with his photographs and even others with hoardings that read "We love you Bieber" and "Meri jaan" at the venue.
