Actress Nidhhi Agerwal was caught in a chaotic moment at the promotional event for the upcoming Telugu film The Raja Saab held at Lulu Mall in Hyderabad on Wednesday evening. The event, organised to launch the song “Sahana Sahana” from the much-anticipated Prabhas‑starrer, saw a massive turnout of enthusiastic fans.
As the programme wrapped up and Agerwal attempted to leave the venue, she was surrounded and jostled by an overwhelming crowd, making her exit difficult and distressing. Security personnel eventually intervened and managed to escort her into her vehicle, but unsettling footage of the incident quickly spread on social media, with many viewers noting that she appeared visibly shaken during the ordeal. No injuries have been reported.
In the video, Nidhhi Agerwal can be seen struggling to reach her car as a crowd surrounds and mobs her. Despite the efforts of her security team, the scene appears chaotic, with the actor being jostled and pushed amid the throng. After considerable effort, she finally manages to get inside her vehicle, though she appears visibly shaken and upset by the ordeal.
The incident has sparked strong reactions online, with users criticising both the behaviour of those in the crowd and the event’s crowd management. Many netizens described the visuals as disturbing and called for better planning and respect for personal space at celebrity events. Several comments highlighted the need for improved safety measures, arguing that organisers should have anticipated the large turnout and ensured smoother crowd control.
