Nagarjuna apologizes after video of his bodyguard pushing a disabled fan at the airport goes viral

A recent video, widely circulated on social media, shows actor Nagarjuna's bodyguard shoving a fan with a disability who approached for a selfie at an airport, sparking outrage among netizens. The incident prompted Nagarjuna, who stars in the upcoming film "Kubera," to issue an apology.

The footage, shared by a paparazzo account, captured Nagarjuna exiting an airport with his bodyguard. As they walked, a fan approached the actor for a selfie but was forcefully pushed away by the bodyguard, causing him to stumble.

Despite the incident, Nagarjuna continued walking without acknowledging the fan. Dhanush, who was also present during the incident, glanced back several times but continued walking.

The video was shared on Reddit, where users condemned Nagarjuna for his indifference. "He is disabled. How humiliated he must have felt," one comment read. "This is heartbreaking. That man didn't deserve such manhandling," another user wrote. "There are better ways to handle fans who come too close to the celeb," read another comment. "Now I have a heavy heart... this world is so cruel," another person expressed.

In response to the criticism, Nagarjuna addressed the issue on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), with a statement. Sharing the paparazzo video, he wrote, "This just came to my notice... this shouldn't have happened!! I apologize to the gentleman and will take necessary precautions to ensure it does not happen in the future.
