Days after actress Nidhhi Agerwal was mobbed by fans at The Raja Saab event, Samantha Ruth Prabhu faced a similar situation in Hyderabad. The actress was reportedly surrounded by a large crowd as she stepped out for a work commitment, leading to a moment of chaos that has since gone viral on social media.
On Sunday, several videos showed Samantha struggling to move amid the overwhelming crowd. In the clips, the actress appears visibly restrained by the surge of fans, making it difficult for her to walk or reach her vehicle.
As the crowd closed in on her, Samantha’s security personnel were seen holding her hand and creating a path to escort her safely to her car.
Despite the situation, Samantha remained composed and did not make any public comment as she made her way through the crowd.
According to reports, Samantha was in Hyderabad for the inauguration of a store when the incident took place.
Reacting to the video of Samantha, a Reddit user wrote, "Well as much as I hate these people's who can't learn some manners I agree sometimes these kind of fans need some manners to learn or need some tight slap."
"Divided by language, united by gawars," wrote another user.
