Not long ago, Mega fans faced strong public criticism for causing a major disturbance at Apollo Hospital in Hyderabad when actor Ram Charan and his wife Upasana welcomed their twin babies. There was a lot of confusion at the hospital as a huge number of fans gathered after the news was shared by the actor’s public relations team.
Now, a similar situation happened this Sunday at KIMS hospital in Bengaluru as pan-India actor NTR attended an inauguration event.
When NTR’s personal team officially announced that the actor would visit the hospital at a specific time, thousands of fans showed up outside the hospital hoping to see him and cheer for his presence.
As soon as NTR arrived at the venue from the airport, the crowd became extremely excited, which made the situation worse.
The security forces couldn’t manage the crowd, and the hospital area became completely packed with fans. This led to chaos and even damage to property, as live videos showed that an escalator broke due to too much pressure.
This incident has once again raised concerns among the general public and led to widespread criticism from all sides.
Nothing has really changed since the previous incident, which shows the need for fans to behave more responsibly and have better common sense during such events.
Fortunately, in both these recent cases, no one was seriously hurt.
However, there have been many past incidents where crowds got out of control, leading to stampedes and even loss of life. Despite this, there have been very few lessons learned, and similar fan gatherings continue to happen every time actors go out in public.
When fans can’t control their excitement and rush to see their favorite actors, it’s understandable to some extent.
But why can’t the actors themselves step in to stop these unnecessary crowd gatherings that cause problems for the public?
Whenever star heroes go to public events, it’s their public relations teams that announce the news with exact time and location.
Because of this advance notice, large groups of fans gather at the event site, turning it into a show of strength rather than an expression of love for the actor.
Each top actor in Tollywood has a huge fan following, and that’s not disputed.
Whenever their movies come out, fans go to watch them in theaters. In the end, the success of the film depends on how well the general audience receives it.
When it comes to public gatherings, large crowds are usually acceptable for pre-release events because there is enough planning and security.
But when actors attend events in closed spaces or sensitive areas, controlling the crowd becomes extremely difficult due to poor preparation. This can lead to unexpected incidents or mishaps involving both fans and the general public.
In both recent situations, large crowds could have been avoided if the news about the actors’ visits had been kept secret until the last minute.
However, the teams chose to share the information on social media platforms.
There’s no need for any actor to prove their stardom.
What is important, though, is that both actors and fans act with more responsibility. One small mistake can cause irreversible harm if people’s lives are lost in these mass gatherings, which could have easily been avoided.
