Just days after a similar incident involving actor Nidhhi Agerwal, South Indian superstar Samantha Ruth Prabhu found herself in a frightening situation in Hyderabad. The actor was mobbed by an overwhelming crowd at a public event on Sunday, raising serious questions about safety protocols for celebrities.
Chaotic Scenes at Hyderabad Event
Videos that quickly spread across social media platforms like Reddit and Instagram captured the distressing moments. Samantha, dressed in an elegant silk saree, was seen trying to move from the stage to her vehicle after attending the event. Despite being encircled by her security team, the sheer size and pushiness of the crowd made movement nearly impossible. Her personnel had to struggle intensely to clear a narrow path for her to pass through.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Samantha maintained remarkable composure. She was seen smiling and remaining calm as her security team escorted her through the chaotic throng of fans. This incident occurred merely days after actor Nidhhi Agerwal was jostled and mishandled by fans at a song launch event for the film ‘The Raja Saab’.
Online Outrage and Blame Game
The viral clips sparked immediate and strong reactions from netizens, who expressed anger and disappointment. Many users sharply criticized the lack of civic sense and boundary respect shown by the attendees, particularly towards women in the public eye. One user summed up the sentiment with a single word: “Pathetic.” Another directly referenced the prior incident, asking, “Why fans don't understand boundaries even after rajasaab incident?”
The criticism was not limited to the crowd. Many online commentators pointed fingers at event organizers and celebrity management teams for failing to ensure adequate safety. One pointed comment read, “Why is their management never prepared for these things when they know how common it is.” Another user highlighted a dangerous pattern, stating, “Many incidents happened, lives are lost to see celebs... yet people's mad obsessive worship for celebrities don't change in South. They either harm themselves or the celeb in these events.”
Personal Milestones and Professional Front
On a happier note, Samantha recently entered a new chapter in her personal life. She married filmmaker Raj Nidimoru on December 1 in an intimate ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. The actor shared her joy through a heartfelt social media post, offering glimpses of their wedding. The ceremony was conducted as a Linga Bhairava Vivaha at the Isha Foundation in Coimbatore.
Professionally, Samantha is busy with high-profile projects. She is reuniting with directors Raj & DK for the upcoming series ‘Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom’. The ambitious project, currently in production, also features a stellar cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Ali Fazal, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Jaideep Ahlawat. The series is slated for a 2026 release.
The recurring nature of such mobbing incidents underscores a persistent safety crisis for public figures in India, demanding urgent attention from both event planners and the public to prevent potential tragedies.
