A promotional event for the upcoming film 'Housefull 5' in Pune descended into chaos as a massive crowd surged forward, creating a stampede-like situation that distressed women and children.
Amid the turmoil, lead actor Akshay Kumar took the microphone and addressed the crowd directly, urging calm and order.
"Dhakka dhukki mat kariye, please. Haath jod ke vinanti karta hoon, yha auratein hai, bacche hai... I request everyone, please," he said with folded hands, appealing to the attendees to avoid pushing.
The situation escalated when a little girl was separated from her parents and broke down in front of the stage. Jacqueline Fernandez noticed the child, stepped in to comfort her, and reassured the worried family, a gesture that resonated with many online.
Thanks to Akshay Kumar's intervention and the swift action of security personnel, order was restored quickly. The event resumed as planned, and the cast continued their promotional activities without further incident.

"Once the crowd was finally brought under control, the Housefull 5 team continued with the event as planned and wrapped it up on time," reports confirmed.
