An unfortunate incident occurred during a recent public appearance by popular actress Manju Warrier, drawing widespread attention and concern across social media.

Manju Warrier, a celebrated actress in both Malayalam and Tamil cinema, attended a store inauguration event where she was seen warmly waving to fans gathered in large numbers. However, a viral video from the event shows an unidentified person in the crowd inappropriately touching her waist during the commotion.

Manju, who made a strong Tamil debut with Dhanush in Asuran directed by Vetrimaaran, has since starred in major projects including Ajith’s Thunivu and Rajinikanth’s upcoming Vettaiyan. At the event, despite the incident, she maintained her composure, took a selfie with a fan, and promptly left the venue.

While the identity of the individual—whether male or female—remains unclear, the incident has triggered an outpouring of criticism online. Many have condemned the indecent behavior and voiced concern over the safety of female celebrities in public events.

This troubling episode has reignited discussions about the need for better security and respectful conduct during public gatherings involving public figures.
