Maddam Sir actress Gulki Joshi recalls horrifying experience after presenting award to MS Dhoni: ‘Mein molest…’
Tv actress Gulki Joshi, who was seen in Maddam Sir as Haseena Malik, has recently been making headlines for sharing her horrifying experience when she started her career. Joshi revealed she was nearly molested when she went to present an award to cricket star Mahendra Singh Dhoni. While giving a quote to Filmmymantra, the actress shared how her visit to Ranchi became traumatic. “This happened a long time ago. I had gone to Ranchi for the IPL. I had to present an award to Mr Dhoni. At that time, my show Nadaan Parinde (2014) was running successfully, and because of the show’s popularity, I was invited to attend the event,” Gulki told the portal.
Joshi felt she could be molested by the crowd. “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. 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”, the actress continued.
Gulki Joshi on meeting MS Dhoni
Looking back on the meeting with the star cricketer Dhoni, she 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 stayed with me. It reminded me that real talent shines the brightest when it’s combined with real humility”.
Gulki has been part of TV shows like Phir Subah Hogi and Nadaan Parindey Ghar Aaja.
