Actor Simran Budharup Calls Out Unacceptable Behavior During Visit to Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja.
TV actor Simran Budharup, known for her role in Kumkum Bhagya, shared a troubling experience during her recent visit to the famous Lalbaugcha Raja pandal in Mumbai for Ganesh Chaturthi. The actor expressed her disappointment over how she and her mother were mistreated by the staff during their visit.
In an extensive Instagram post, Budharup revealed that a security staff member aggressively took her mother’s phone while she was in the queue for darshan. When her mother tried to retrieve it, she was pushed by the staff. Budharup intervened, only to be “rough-handled” by the bouncers herself. She recorded the incident on her phone, after which the staff attempted to snatch her device too. It was only when they recognized her as an actor that they backed off.
Budharup emphasized the need for “awareness and accountability” in such situations, stating that people visit these places seeking blessings and positivity, not aggression and disrespect. She acknowledged the difficulty of managing large crowds but insisted that staff should maintain order without mistreating devotees.
“I hope this serves as a wake-up call for event organizers and staff to treat visitors with dignity and respect,” Budharup wrote, advocating for a safer and more positive environment at public events. Her post resonated with many, bringing attention to the need for better crowd management practices at such significant events.
