Recently, actor Ariana Grande faced something similar at the premiere of Totally Wicked when a fan rushed to hug her. Co-star Cynthia Erivo had jumped in to push the man away instantaneously. At the Cherry Blossom Festival 2025, an intruder was seen pushing towards the stage during rapper Tyga’s performance, leading to the security getting alert and a guard tripping and colliding with the rapper.
During his recent Rolling Loud India concert in Mumbai, singer Karan Aujla was also hit in the face by a flying T-shirt thrown from the crowd. However, the singer handled the moment with grace, picking the t-shirt up, wiping his sweat, and tossing it back to the crowd.
