On Sunday, Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez was spotted at an event in Mumbai. A video from the event has now surfaced online, showing her bodyguard appearing to hold her wrist and usher her towards the stage as she paused to interact and pose for photographs with fans.

The clip quickly went viral on social media, with many users expressing their displeasure over the bodyguard's actions.

Many social media users criticised the bodyguard's behaviour and praised Jacqueline for taking time out for her fans.

One fan wrote, 'Very bad man. The bodyguard doesn't respect her.'

Another commented, 'Protective hai sahi par usko touch krne ka rights kisne diya Jacqueline ko.... bina touch kiye protect kar dur se (It's fine that he's being protective, but who gave him the right to touch Jacqueline? He can protect her from a distance without touching her).'

Some users, however, came to the bodyguard's defence, saying that celebrities often have strict instructions that prevent physical contact with fans.

Jacqueline is currently awaiting the release of her upcoming film, Welcome to the Jungle, which is scheduled to release in cinemas on 26 June.
