Actors Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela are filming for Anurag Basu’s yet-to-be-named film. Sreeleela recently got into a fright when she was forcibly dragged into a crowd, which went unnoticed by Kartik. Her crew had to come and rescue her from being dragged deeper into the crowd.
Sreeleela Forcibly Pulled by Fan
In a video posted by a paparazzo Instagram account on Sunday, Sreeleela and Kartik are spotted walking through a crowd with their entourage. Sreeleela walks slightly behind Kartik when she gets pulled into the crowd by a fan, unaware that Kartik is still walking ahead.
Fortunately, her team steps in and pulls her back before she’s pulled further into the crowd. Sreeleela appears visibly shaken but keeps smiling as she speaks to her team. Kartik glances back at the commotion after she’s back but doesn’t appear to understand what had occurred. Where and when the video was taken wasn’t stated.

The Internet Reacts
As soon as the video began doing rounds on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), fans were worried about her safety. One fan shared the video on X, writing, “Manhandling actresses in public places has to stop tf #Sreeleela.” Another wrote, “Truly scary..how unsafe for anyone.”
Fans Criticize Lack of Security and Kartik’s Reaction
An X user pointed out, “This is scary, the way Sreeleela got dragged is so unsafe. The Bouncers should have protected her better. Even normal girls can’t walk in such crowded situations, she is a famous actress.”
One person blamed Kartik for not noticing, “the superstar walking ahead didn’t do anything.” Another fan wrote that if her Bhagavanth Kesari co-star Balakrishna were in Kartik’s place, he would’ve slapped the fan, “Balayya akkada undi unte antha Payalungalaa dabbidi dibidee (If Balakrishna were there, he would’ve slapped the fan)”
Kartik and Sreeleela are filming their next movie in Gangtok and Darjeeling. It will be released in theatres during Diwali.
