Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor recently attended the screening of Bhuvan Bam’s web series Taaza Khabar Season 2 in Mumbai, but the event took an unexpected turn when a video surfaced of her bodyguard violently pushing away a fan attempting to take a selfie with her.
The incident, which was captured on video and shared widely on Instagram, has ignited discussions about the balance between celebrity security and fan interactions on social media.
In the viral footage, Shraddha is seen stepping out of her car and heading toward the red carpet amidst a throng of fans and photographers. As she makes her way through the crowd, a fan rushes toward her, mobile phone in hand, eager to snap a picture.
In response, a bouncer quickly intervenes, pushing the fan away to clear a path for Shraddha. It remains unclear whether the security personnel involved were specifically assigned to her or were part of the event's general security detail.
The public response to the incident has been mixed. The video was captioned with a translation that reads, “Shraddha Kapoor’s bouncer misbehaved,” leading to varied opinions from viewers.
While many criticized the security official for his aggressive handling of the fan, others defended the need for personal space and boundaries that celebrities deserve, especially in crowded public events. This incident has sparked a broader conversation about the responsibilities of security personnel and the conduct expected from fans.
The screening itself was a star-studded affair, attended by numerous celebrities from the Bollywood industry. Among those present were Tiger Shroff, Meezaan Jaffry, Shehnaaz Gill, Rajpal Yadav, Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Munawar Faruqui, Isha Talwar, Nakuul Mehta, and Shiv Thakare. The event garnered significant media attention, showcasing the collaborative efforts of various artists within the entertainment sector.
On the professional front, Shraddha Kapoor is currently enjoying a successful run with her latest film Stree 2. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film has achieved remarkable box office success, surpassing the lifetime collections of Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan to become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever.

Overall, the incident at the Taaza Khabar screening has highlighted the challenges celebrities face when navigating public interactions, alongside the need for respectful engagement from fans.
