Priyanka Chopra was rescued by her former sweet heart, Shahid Kapoor, after she got nearly mobbed on the sets of their tentatively titled Teri Meri Kahaani in Aurangabad.
A stampede like situation occurred as the crowd got uncontrollable.
A source says, “On an average there were nearly 8,000 to 10,000 people on the sets.
On the day we shot at Daulatabad Fort, over 30,000 people bought tickets to visit the place. On the last day we were shooting at the lake, which was surrounded by hills.
Two of those were completely filled with people. It was madness. Some people tried to get too close to Priyanka and that’s when Shahid came forward and took her aside.”
Adds the source, “They both were pretty cool and took a break every two hours to wave to the people who had come all the way to see them. Shahid even said it would have been depressing if no one had come to see them.”
However the director of the film, Kunal Kholi denies the stampede reports.
“No, that’s not true. There were no untoward incidents. Fortunately, we had the support of the local police and we had our own security. We definitely had to tighten the security to manage the crowds.”
