When Bollywood stars get unsolicited attention from creepy stalkers

On Sunday night, a Priyanka Chopra fan turned up outside her residence creating a huge ruckus. We take a look at the scary stalker experiences that some Bollywood stars have had to face

An eager fan showed up at Priyanka Chopra’s residence on Sunday evening. While the actress is away shooting in Barcelona, some high voltage drama unfolded outside her Mumbai residence. A source says, “On Sunday evening, a 25-year-old guy was found snooping around Priyanka’s building. The security guards found his behaviour highly suspicious and soon some people roughed him up thinking that he was a thief. Then the police was called in and they interrogated him.”

A thorough search of his bag revealed that the man, a Priyanka Chopra fan, was carrying sweets, bangles and flowers for the actress. It seems that he was keen to meet her and give her the gifts. “When the police questioned him,
he was elusive and at first, he even gave them a false name. Soon he realised the futility of this exercise and he told them that he had come down to Mumbai all the way from Nagpur only to get a glimpse of his favourite actress,” says
an eyewitness.

The source adds that when the police called his family, they found out that he had lied to them as well. “It seems that he had told his family that he was travelling to Mumbai to attend a friend’s wedding. They had no idea that he was going all the way to Mumbai just to meet Priyanka Chopra,” says the source.

Call it the dark side of fame, but there is clearly more to stardom than acting and signing autographs. Bollywood stars are often at the receiving end of unwanted attention. We give you the lowdown on such instances where eager fans turned into stalkers.
