Bastian, a popular nightlife spot co-owned by Shilpa Shetty Kundra and her husband Raj Kundra, is known for its premium experience, live music, and celebrity clientele. The viral footage, however, has raised questions about the management of crowd flow and emergency preparedness at the establishment.
Patrons who were present described the scene as “chaotic and frightening” but said that staff eventually managed to calm the crowd and resume operations. Police officials who visited the location later confirmed they were reviewing the circumstances that led to the outbreak of panic, including the outage and crowd response.
The incident adds to ongoing discussions in Bengaluru about urban club safety, crowd management, and infrastructure readiness during peak hours.
So far, neither Shilpa Shetty nor the management of Bastian Pub & Kitchen has issued an official statement addressing the viral video or clarifying exactly what triggered the scene. Law enforcement sources said they are in the process of gathering statements from staff and patrons as part of a routine inquiry.
The viral incident at the Bengaluru pub adds to a string of recent controversies that have repeatedly placed Shilpa Shetty in the spotlight for reasons beyond her film and television work. Over the past few years, the actor has found herself navigating public scrutiny ranging from legal investigations involving her husband Raj Kundra to criticism over promotional endorsements and business ventures linked to her name.
