In the wake of the tragic stampede that occurred at the Pushpa 2 premiere at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, which led to the unfortunate loss of a life, actor Nani has shared a heartfelt message addressing the incident and its aftermath. The stampede, which took place during the highly anticipated premiere of Pushpa 2, saw a large crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of star Allu Arjun, leading to chaos and a fatality. Following the incident, Allu Arjun was questioned and arrested as part of the ongoing investigation.
Nani, deeply affected by the tragedy, took to social media to express his thoughts on the situation and the broader societal implications. In his post, he wrote, “I wish the kind of enthusiasm government authorities and media show in anything related to people from cinema was also there for the regular citizens. We would have lived in a better society.” Nani’s words highlighted a contrast in the way public attention is often directed towards celebrities versus the daily struggles and safety of ordinary citizens.
Reflecting on the heartbreaking event, Nani further stated, “That was an unfortunate incident and it was heartbreaking. We should all learn from the disaster and be a lot more careful hereafter and introduce measures to make sure this doesn’t happen again.” His message calls for a sense of collective responsibility, urging all parties involved— from event organizers to authorities— to take proactive measures to ensure that such tragic events do not repeat.
Nani concluded with a powerful reminder that no single individual should bear the blame for such a disaster, emphasizing that, “We are all at fault here. One person is not responsible for this.” His words suggest that responsibility lies with multiple stakeholders, including the venue, event organizers, security personnel, and even the public, who all play a role in ensuring the safety of large crowds.
Through his post, Nani not only addressed the tragedy but also called for greater reflection on how we as a society handle safety at public events, and how authorities can ensure the well-being of citizens—regardless of their social status or profession.
