Aditya Roy Kapur, star of new series The Night Manager, also had a female fan try and kiss him after a screening of the show. In his case too, the security team intervened.

There were, however, no bodyguards to step in when a woman brushed past Sara Ali Khan at the airport a few days ago. The actress was travelling with her mother and stopped to take selfies with fans at Mumbai airport. Footage captured at the airport shows a woman walk up to Sara and then past while attempting to touch her face, leaving the young star wincing.

Kartik Aaryan co-stars with Kriti Sanon in Shehzada, which releases tomorrow. Directed by Rohit Dhawan, the film is a remake of 2020 Telugu hit Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and also stars Paresh Rawal, Manisha Koirala and Ronit Roy.
