Hrithik Roashan
Bharati Dubey (MID-DAY; October 3, 2014)

On Wednesday night, Hrithik Roshan was attacked by an overenthusiastic fan, who jumped at the actor from behind and put his hand around the actor’s neck near the exit of a cinema hall in Juhu.

An eyewitness says that the man, who claimed to be a fan, jumped at the actor and grabbed him by his neck from the back. It apparently took three people to pull the man away from the actor.

The witness adds that Hrithik’s cap and glares came off as a result of the fracas. “Hrithik’s children had come down for a special screening of his latest film, Bang Bang, with their friends. After the incident, Hrithik left the place in a hurry and photographers missed out on an opportunity to click a family photo.”

When contacted, Hrithik confirmed the story. He said, “I am safe and unhurt, but I don’t know where this guy suddenly came from and how he managed to hold me by my neck. Of course, my security guards took him away, and I even went up to him and spoke to him. I am fine now.”

After Hrithik left the theatre with his children, his guards apparently reprimanded the man and let him off the cuff.

Hrithik Roshan, who was present for the screening of Bang Bang at PVR Juhu, was taken aback when a fan managed to break through the security blanket to give him a hug. This happened on Wednesday night, when the actor along with his friends from the industry and sons — Hrehaan and Hridaan — were attending a screening of the movie. A fan who was present at a dandiya event opposite PVR Juhu decided got mighty excited when he learnt that his idol was present at the multiplex. The over-zealous admirer jumped through the security cordon to hug Hrithik and in the process dislodged the actor’s hat and specs. And though Hrithik looked a bit taken aback, he quickly recovered from the incident.
