Aahana Kumra, renowned for her roles in movies like ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha‘, ‘Inside Edge‘, and ‘Rangbaaz‘, recently expressed her dismay when a fan crossed her personal boundaries during a public event.
A video circulated by a paparazzi outlet shows the incident, where the fan placed his hand around Kumra’s waist while she posed for photos. Visibly shocked, Kumra quickly turned to the man and demanded, “Don’t touch me!”
The video rapidly gained attention online, with numerous netizens expressing their support for the actress and condemning the fan’s inappropriate conduct. Many of Kumra’s fans echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of respecting personal boundaries and condemning unsolicited contact.
One fan commented, “She is right. Self-respect is very important.” Another asserted, “This is bang on!! She is absolutely correct. Guys/fans need to understand that they can’t put their unsolicited hands behind anyone’s back while taking a picture. Not cool.” Yet another highlighted a secondary incident in the video, stating, “The second man also touched her, if a girl says no it means no!!!!!!!”
On a professional front, Kumra’s fans can anticipate her upcoming role in Faisal Hashmi’s ‘Cancer’, where she stars opposite Sharib Hashmi. She was most recently featured in ‘Salaam Venky’, alongside co-stars Kajol and Vishal Jethwa.

Her versatility continued to shine in ‘Salaam Venky‘, where she starred alongside Bollywood heavyweights Kajol and Vishal Jethwa. The film was a commercial success and solidified Kumra’s standing as a force to reckon with in the industry.
Fans eagerly await her next venture, ‘Cancer‘, directed by Faisal Hashmi, where she will share the screen with Sharib Hashmi. This project promises to add another feather in the cap of the talented actress.
