Ever since Sonakshi Sinha became a heartthrob (that is, after appearing in Dabangg opposite Salman Khan) she’s been busy like a bumblebee. The exceedingly attractive gal is attending events left, right and centre for various causes. On the anniversary of the Mumbai attacks (26/11) SS was at a function arranged by a non-governmental organisation. There came a point in the event when some (naughty) men came too close to Sonakshi and even touched her. This freaked her out and her security staff managed to take her away from the scene.

Sonakshi didn’t hide the identity of the mischief-makers and said they were ‘media persons and their cameramen’. Responding to her well-wishers’ queries about the incident, SS said though it hadn’t traumatised her, she was definitely ‘upset’. Girl, you’ve done only one film and this happened. Aage aage dekhiye hota hai kya.
