Kriti Sanon shields Rashmika Mandanna during a chaotic “Cocktail 2” promotional event as fans breach security. Both outlets describe the incident occurring during the film’s promotions in Pune, where the presence of celebrities—including Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna—draws a large, enthusiastic crowd. As the situation becomes unmanageable and the crowd surges, the outlets report that Kriti steps in to protect Rashmika from the frenzied throng. The moment is widely noticed online, with observers characterizing Kriti’s response as protective and comparing it to a “younger sister” or elder-sister role. While details such as specific timing and the extent of any injuries are not provided in the sourced reports, both accounts agree on the core sequence: an event with heavy fan presence, a security breach or crowd surge, and Kriti’s intervention to keep Rashmika safe amid the commotion.
