Public safety and crowd management protocols are under intense scrutiny in Hyderabad following a chaotic encounter involving actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu. On Sunday evening, the star was mobbed by an overwhelming number of onlookers while attending a store inauguration, marking the second such high-profile incident in the city within a few days.
This follows a similar distressing experience faced by actor Nidhhi Agerwal, sparking a wider conversation regarding the safety of celebrities during professional public appearances.
Samantha was in Hyderabad for a professional commitment—a store opening—when a massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the star. The situation quickly escalated as the crowd surged forward, surrounding her completely.
Viral video footage shows security personnel forming a human chain to protect the actor. Guards were seen physically shielding her and struggling to escort her to her vehicle as the crowd pushed in from all sides.
Despite the high-pressure and potentially dangerous environment, Samantha reportedly maintained her composure throughout the ordeal. She has not yet issued an official statement regarding the lack of crowd control.
This incident comes on the heels of a similar event involving Nidhhi Agerwal, leading industry insiders and fans to question whether organizers are providing adequate security for such large-scale public events.
