Just days after a woman attempted to enter Salman Khan's home at Galaxy Apartments and another fan tried to meet him, a similar dramatic incident has come to light involving Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapur. The Khar police recently arrested a woman who entered Kapur's Bandra residence, claiming she had an appointment with him.
The woman, identified as Gajala Kariya Siddhiqui, 39, a resident of Karma By Vision, Liwan, Dubai, arrived at Kapur's home carrying gift bags. She told the house staff that she had been personally invited by the actor. Believing her, the house staff allowed her to enter and sit inside the apartment.
However, when Kapur returned home, he informed the staff that he did not know the woman. When asked to leave, the woman refused and told Kapur she intended to stay there forever. The actor then contacted Khar police, who promptly arrived at the scene, removed the woman from the premises, and detained her. An FIR has been registered against her for allegedly trespassing and unlawfully attempting to enter the actor's residence.

In her statement to the police, Siddhiqui said, "I am a huge fan of Aditya Roy Kapur. I follow his daily activities on social media and easily found his home, gym, and other addresses online. I decided to travel to Mumbai by flight just to meet him. When I saw him arrive home, I immediately got up from the sofa and tried to hug him. I had no other intentions." She added, "I've watched all his movies, especially Aashiqui 2, which I love. I gathered information about his shoots and whereabouts and came to Mumbai."
According to Siddhiqui, when she reached the building, the security guard asked her where she was going. She replied truthfully that she was visiting Aditya Roy Kapur's house. She then rang the doorbell and told the house staff she was there to meet him. The staff let her in. "When I saw him, I couldn't control myself. I went close and tried to hug him," she told police.
The complainant, Sangeeta Arjun Pawar, 49, has been working at Kapur's residence for the past eight years. Speaking to mid-day, Pawar said, "On Monday, May 26, while Aditya sir was away on a shoot, a woman with two to three bags rang the doorbell around 6 pm. She asked if this was his home, and I confirmed it was. I assumed she was a fashion designer and let her in."
"Later, when sir returned, I informed him that a woman had come to meet him. He spoke to her politely and said he didn't know her. She claimed to be a fan. When he asked her to leave, she refused and said she would stay forever. I advised him to leave the house. I then called the bodyguard and security staff. Since she was a woman, no one touched her. We immediately contacted the police," Pawar added.
Khar police arrived shortly after, and with the assistance of women constables, removed Siddhiqui from the premises and arrested her. A police officer said, "We have registered an FIR against Gajala Kariya Siddhiqui, 39, a Dubai resident, for trespassing and entering actor Aditya Roy Kapur's house without permission. She has been arrested under Section 331(2) of the BNS Act and was produced in court, where she was remanded in police custody for a day."
