Chaos erupts as Jr NTR's fans overwhelm Bengaluru hospital event
A huge crowd gathered in Bengaluru on March 8 to catch a glimpse of actor Jr NTR. The star was attending the inauguration of KIMS Hospitals, but fans' excitement quickly turned into chaos. Police had to step in to manage the situation and ensure the actor's safe arrival.
Hundreds of admirers packed both inside and outside the general hospital, pushing forward to get closer to Jr NTR. The sheer number of people caused damage to an escalator within the complex as the crowd surged uncontrollably. Videos circulating online show fans rushing through the lobby while security staff struggled to maintain order.
Police eventually used a mild lathi charge to disperse the gathering and clear a path for the actor. Despite the commotion, Jr NTR briefly acknowledged and greeted fans waiting outside before proceeding with the event. His recent role in the 2025 action thriller War 2 had heightened public interest in his appearance.
The incident highlighted the challenges of managing large crowds at high-profile events. While no reports of injuries emerged, the damage to hospital property and the need for police intervention underscored the intensity of the situation. Jr NTR's presence, though brief, drew an overwhelming response from supporters.
