‘I was completely mobbed'- Gulki

While remembering her visit, Gulki Joshi recalled the horrific incident and shared, "As soon as I stepped outside, I was completely mobbed by a crowd. Mobbed to the level of being scared. It wasn't just excitement - it became physically overwhelming to the point where I genuinely felt threatened."

‘I could be molested right there'- Gulki

Recalling how the situation escalated, she added, "Amid the pushing, shoving, and chaos, the horrifying thought crossed my mind that I could be molested right there in the crowd. Thankfully, security personnel intervened at the right moment. Just as things were spiralling out of control, the security team arrived and somehow managed to pull me out of the mob. They whisked me away to safety. But the fear lingered. It shook me. That was the only time I've ever truly been afraid of the crowd, of the people."

Gulki on meeting MS Dhoni

Gulki was invited to present an award to Dhoni, and while everything else about that trip gives her chills, meeting the former captain of the Indian cricket team was special for her. Talking about meeting Dhoni, Gulki shared, "When I met Mr. Dhoni, he was everything you'd hope a hero to be - humble, warm, and grounded. Even though he must have been exhausted after the match, he patiently met every fan, smiled, took pictures, and made everyone feel special. In that moment, I realised what true talent is. No arrogance, no drama - just pure, unfiltered humility. It really stayed with me. It reminded me that real talent shines the brightest when it's combined with real humility."
