If you thought the story of Fan – where Shah Rukh Khan plays a die-hard fan pining for a star’s hug — was a stretch, Taapsee Pannu will tell you otherwise. Her fan, a youngster whose first name is Prakash, dodged her bouncers and barged into a restaurant to meet her.
He first connected with her on social media. Prakash knows her schedules better than her assistants and turns up at her shoots and promotions unfailingly. So far, he has been harmless, but the last few times were unnerving for the actress. A source said, "Few know Taapsee’s schedule; it is strange how Prakash learns of it. She has asked her staff to be cautious and not let out information of her whereabouts."
When we reached out to Taapsee, she told us, "As artistes, we love being loved. But there is a thin line between making us feel special and wary. When this guy breached security to meet me in the VIP arena at a venue, I was shocked. It was also a cue for me to have my ante up. Living under the limelight is great until you meet someone who is crossing boundaries. When he barged in to see me, I was alarmed. I didn’t file a complaint because he hasn’t tried to harm me in any way. If this happens again, I will report him as a potential threat."
