Janhvi Kapoor and Ram Charan are currently busy promoting their upcoming Telugu release Peddi. Amid on the ongoing promotional activities, the stars attended an event held in Vijayawada on Monday, which was also attended by director Buchi Babu Sana. However, during the event, a fan of Ram Charan was seen breaching security and rushing to meet him, during which he got too close to Janhvi. A video of the incident has now surfaced online, leaving fans concerned for the stars.
In a video shared on X, a fan who was seen dressed like Ram Charan was seen running towards his favourite actor. The fan had the same hairstyle and was dressed in a black shirt and veshti. However, when he tried to get too close to Ram, he was stopped by the security and lifted by Ram Charan's personal bodyguard, MMA fighter Kevin Kunta. Janhvi, who was close to the fan, flinched and looked uncomfortable by the series of events, since a lot of security rushed around them to keep the situation under control.
Earlier, in one of the promotional interviews, Ram spoke opened up about his bodyguard Kevin making headlines. He joked, "Aap log itna famous bana diya usko, abhi mai bahar nahi allow kar raha hoon usko. Usko ek chocolate de, biscuit de, aur mere baare meiâ¦they might bribe him. (Everyone made him so famous, I'm not allowing him to go outside. They might bribe him with chocolate or a biscuit to talk about me)." Kevin is seen accompanying Ram at his public appearances, dressed in a dark suit and following the actor closely.
