Chinmayi Sripada strongly condemned the Hyderabad mall mob that targeted Nidhhi Agerwal, questioning why men like this aren’t removed from society
Actress Nidhhi Agerwal was mobbed by fans while leaving Hyderabad’s Lulu Mall during a promotional event for The Raja Saab, prompting a strong condemnation from singer Chinmayi Sripada on social media.
On December 17, 2025, the promotional launch of the song Sahana Sahana from Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab at Hyderabad’s Lulu Mall turned chaotic. Fans surged past security barriers as Nidhhi Agerwal, the film’s female lead, attempted to exit, seeking selfies and closer interaction. Videos from the scene show the actress visibly uncomfortable, clutching her dupatta while security struggled to escort her safely to her car.
Chinmayi Sripada reacts
Renowned singer Chinmayi Sripada took to X to condemn the incident. Sharing a video of the chaos, she wrote, “Pack of men behaving worse than hyenas. Actually, why insult hyenas? Put ‘likeminded’ men together in a mob, they will harass a woman like this. Why doesn’t some God take them all away and put them on a different planet?” Her post highlighted public concern over celebrity harassment during promotional events.
