Gulki Joshi Reveals She Was Nearly Molested While Presenting Award To MS Dhoni: 'Security Saved Me'

 

Television actress Gulki Joshi, who is well-known for playing the brave and humorous Haseena Malik in Maddam Sir, recently revealed a very disturbing recollection from her life. It emphasizes the risks that celebrities face when their popular devotion degenerates into unbridled hysteria.

 

During a visit to Ranchi a few years ago, Gulki recalled a particularly terrifying experience in an interview with Filmymantra. This was quite some time ago. I had to give Mr. Dhoni an award when I traveled to Ranchi for the IPL. "My show, Nadaan Parinde (2014), was doing well at the time, and because of its popularity, I was invited to the event," she wrote.

 

An enjoyable outing swiftly turned into a chaotic situation. "As soon as I went outdoors, a crowd surrounded me totally. It wasn't simply enthusiasm; I actually felt endangered because it was so physically overwhelming. In the midst of the commotion, pushing, and shoving, I had the terrifying idea that I would be assaulted in the crowd," she stated.

 

Fortunately, security guards stepped in just in time. "The security team showed up just as things were getting out of hand and somehow got me to leave the crowd. I was taken to safety by them. However, the fear persisted. I was shaken by it. With obvious passion, Gulki said, "That was the only time I've ever really been afraid of the crowd, of the people."

Gulki's experience at the event wasn't totally depressing, despite the terrible encounter. She spoke warmly and admiringly about her encounter with cricketing great MS Dhoni. "When I eventually got to meet Mr. Dhoni, he was kind, modest, and grounded—everything you could want in a hero. He must have been worn out after the game, but he patiently greeted each fan, grinned, took pictures, and made them all feel valued," Gulki remarked.


"In that moment, I realized what true greatness is," she said thoughtfully. No drama, no haughtiness, simply unadulterated humility. I was really affected by that. It served as a reminder that genuine humility and talent work best together.

 

"While recognition feels rewarding, incidents like what happened in Ranchi make you realize how important security and boundaries are," Gulki said, addressing the darker side of celebrity. A mob mentality can quickly jeopardize personal safety, and crowds aren't always aware of the consequences of their behavior."

Gulki Joshi is still making a name for herself in the workplace. She recently explored a totally different, multi-layered side of storytelling in the daring and personal anthology series Hasratein 2. 

The series boasts an ensemble cast including Dolly Chawla, Sanam Johar, Vivek Dahiya, Vinit Kakar, Amika Shail, Saisha Sehgal, Zuber K. Khan, Karan Sharma, Nyrraa M Banerji, Param Singh, Puja Banerjee, Sandeep Kumaar, Akanksha Puri, Rishaab Chauhaan, and Navveen Sharrma.
