Fan culture in India is often driven by emotion, with admiration for celebrities sometimes leading to impulsive behaviour. Such moments can occasionally result in uncomfortable or unexpected situations.
A recent viral video shows former WWE wrestler ‘The Great Khali’, also known as Dalip Singh Rana, briefly pushing a fan, who approached him for a selfie at an airport. In the clip, Khali is seen walking through the terminal surrounded by fans and photographers when a man breaks from the crowd and moves close to him to take a selfie. Khali appears irritated and pushes the fan aside. The man then walks away smiling.
