Tollywood actress Sreeleela, who is currently making her Bollywood debut alongside actor Kartik Aaryan, encountered an unpleasant situation during a promotional event for their upcoming film. The incident occurred as the duo was interacting with fans, drawing significant public and media attention.
According to visuals that have since gone viral on social media, Sreeleela was walking through a crowd with Kartik Aaryan when a man from the audience forcibly grabbed her hand and attempted to pull her towards the gathering. The sudden and inappropriate act left the actress visibly startled. Security personnel immediately intervened and safely escorted her from the scene.
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. #Sreeleela #KartikAryan pic.twitter.com/bj7izx5jaR
