In videos shared by a paparazzo on Instagram, Ram’s fans can be seen standing outside his home holding flags and placards and cheering for him.

The actor waved at them and greeted them with folded hands, thanking them for their love. He could even be seen holding his heart and thanking them.

After a while, he gestures for them to either move back or leave. Another video shows him standing near the gate of his home and greeting fans who refused to budge. Some shower him with confetti while others struggle to hand him gifts. He can be seen gesturing at them to be careful and not fall before accepting the gifts and thanking them. His security can also be seen keeping check on the crowd. Ram also arranged lunch for everyone who came.

This comes a month after a stampede at Sandhya Theatre during the premiere of his cousin Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule left one woman dead and her young son hospitalised. Arjun was arrested in the case for attending the premiere without prior permission and is out on bail.
