Katrina Kaif was in for a shock when she went to Ahmedabad to promote her upcoming film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

The mall where she was to make an appearance was packed with thousands of fans who screamed her name, whistled, hooted, teased, and pushed around.

The actress remained on stage to avoid mingling with the frenzied fans, but then, to her shock, the stage started to shake.

It seemed the stage would collapse. “It was the most terrifying moment of my life - the stage crashing down.

In front of the fans and I getting swallowed by the crowd,” Katrina is quoted by a Mumbai tabloid.

Thankfully, a sturdy and hugely built security guard came to her rescue. He shielded Katrina from the mob and made way for her to get out of the crowded mall.

He even accompanied the actress to the hotel.  Meanwhile, the Kat-struck fans were not cowed down. They hopped on their motor-bikes and chased the actress to the hotel.

Some of the fans tried to enter the hotel, but the sturdy guard who earlier saved Katrina from the mob did not let any fan enter the lobby.  He was Katrina’s saviour that day.
