Akshay Kumar handles crowd at Pune mall
On Sunday, the cast of Housefull 5 entertained a massive crowd gathered at the Pune mall. Every floor of the mall was packed to capacity as the stars arrived at the scene. However, as the crowd began to grow overwhelming, Akshay Kumar quickly stepped in to calm the restless attendees. A stampede-like situation was captured in viral videos from the event, with Akshay seen requesting the crowd to stay calm and avoid pushing.

Women and children were seen crying as the overwhelming number of people flooded the venue. One young girl was seemingly separated from her parents and was seen sobbing near the stage. Jacqueliene Fernandez noticed the distressed child, comforted her, and assured the crowd that the girl was safe.
As the situation escalated, Akshay Kumar took the microphone and began requesting the crowd to settle down. His voice was calm but firm as he said,
“Dhakka dhukki mat kariye, please. Haath jod ke vinanti karta hoon, yahan auratein hain, bacche hain… I request everyone, please.”
Shortly after, things returned to normal. Thanks to Akshay’s intervention and the timely management of the situation by the security team, the cast resumed their planned activities and continued to entertain fans gathered at the mall.
