During a promotional event for Housefull 5 at a Pune mall, Akshay Kumar addressed the crowd with a heartfelt plea:
“Dhakka dhukki mat kariye, please. Haath jod ke vinanti karta hoon, yaha auratein hai, bacche hai…I request everyone, please.”
The event saw an overwhelming turnout, leading to a chaotic situation where fans, eager to catch a glimpse of the star-studded cast—including Nana Patekar, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Soundarya Sharma, and Fardeen Khan—began pushing and shoving. This resulted in distress among women and children in the crowd.
Akshay Kumar’s intervention helped calm the situation, allowing the event to proceed safely.
