After Nidhhi Agerwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu Gets Mobbed by Crowd at Hyderabad Event | Video
South Indian superstar Samantha Ruth Prabhu was mobbed by an uncontrollable crowd during a public event in Hyderabad, sparking fresh concerns over celebrity safety and crowd management. The incident comes just days after actress Nidhhi Agerwal faced a similar situation at the song launch of her upcoming film The Raja Saab.
A video from the event has gone viral on social media, showing Samantha struggling to make her way from her vehicle to the stage amid a dense crowd of fans. Despite being accompanied by a security team, the actress appeared visibly uncomfortable as fans surrounded her from all sides, making movement difficult.
Video shows chaotic scenes at Hyderabad event
For the event, Samantha chose an elegant golden-and-black silk saree, paired with minimal makeup and open hair. However, the focus quickly shifted from her appearance to the alarming lack of crowd control. The video clip circulating online captures moments of chaos as security personnel attempted to create a safe passage for the actress.
The incident mirrors what happened recently with Nidhhi Agerwal at Lulu Mall, Hyderabad, where fans breached personal boundaries, raising serious questions about public safety at celebrity appearances.
Internet reacts: ‘Celebrities are not public property’
Social media users were quick to react, expressing disappointment and concern over repeated incidents of crowd mismanagement.
One user on X wrote, “Why do some fans still struggle with boundaries, even after recent incidents? Passion is great, but respect and personal space matter.”
Another Instagram user commented, “We really need to teach basic civic sense.” Others called the behaviour “dangerous” and “irresponsible.”
Many netizens also urged event organisers to improve security arrangements and enforce stricter crowd-control measures, especially at high-profile public gatherings.
Growing concern over celebrity safety
The back-to-back incidents involving Nidhhi Agerwal and Samantha Ruth Prabhu have reignited conversations around celebrity safety, especially at mall launches, promotional events and public appearances. Industry insiders have increasingly pointed out that inadequate barricading, poor coordination with local authorities, and underestimating crowd size often lead to such situations.
Experts suggest that better planning, limited access zones, and stronger enforcement of safety protocols are essential to prevent such incidents in the future.
