Here was a real scene straight out of reel — a heroine surrounded by a group of people with no scope of escape, until the hero arrives! While shooting for Bandhan…Saari Umar Humein Sang Rehna Hai, actors Chhavi Pandey and Mrunal Jain went through a similar situation.

The duo got mobbed by fans, but when the crowd became uncontrollable and fans began to get very close to both the actors, making Chhavi increasingly uncomfortable, Mrunal sprang into action and shielded his on screen heroine till they reached the vanity van, said a source.

Mrunal said: “We were overwhelmed to see so many fans but on the other hand, the crowd was uncontrollable. It was my duty to protect Chhavi when people were getting too close for comfort and I just did that.”
