Shraddha Kapoor, fresh off the success of Stree 2, found herself at the center of online backlash after a viral video showed her bodyguard pushing a fan during the screening of Bhuvan Bam’s Taaza Khabar Season 2. The incident occurred as the actress arrived at the event, where enthusiastic fans and photographers crowded around her.
In the video, Kapoor is seen stepping out of her car and making her way towards the red carpet when a fan approached with a phone, eager for a selfie. In an effort to manage the crowd, Kapoor’s bodyguard forcefully pushed the fan away, sparking a wave of criticism online.
The video quickly spread across social media, with netizens reacting strongly. One user commented, “Rude behavior by bodyguards,” while another wrote, “Pushing someone for a photo? That’s not professional.” Others defended the bodyguard’s actions, noting the need for security at high-profile events. “It’s his job to protect her. People need to respect boundaries,” a commenter added.
The altercation has led to debates about the role of bodyguards at public events and the balance between celebrity protection and fan engagement. While some believe that security personnel need more training in managing such situations, others argue that fans should respect personal space.
Kapoor, who attended the event alongside other Bollywood stars such as Tiger Shroff and Shehnaaz Gill, has not commented on the incident. However, the event itself was a glamorous affair, with many praising the second season of Taaza Khabar.
Meanwhile, Shraddha Kapoor continues to enjoy the success of Stree 2, which remains a box office hit. The film, co-starring Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana, has sustained strong numbers for weeks, and producers have already confirmed plans for a third installment.
As the controversy over the bodyguard incident grows, it raises important questions about fan interaction and security at Bollywood events.
