Farhan
Akhtar
was
mobbed
at
an
awards
function
in
Kanpur
recently.
As
a
result,
the
Rock
On!!
star
had
to
be
locked
inside
a
room
for
over
an
hour
till
the
crowds
dispersed.
The
director-actor
was
attending
the
Madhavrao
Scindia
Awards
ceremony
where
he
was
honoured
for
outstanding
performance
in
cinema.
Says
a
source
close
to
Farhan,
"At
the
event
there
were
intellectuals,
industrialists
and
politicians.
But
the
situation
turned
chaotic
as
there
were
many
young
people
in
the
audience.
They
became
quite
excited
after
seeing
Farhan
and
charged
on
to
the
stage." Says
Farhan,
"There
was
a
crowd
but
one
manages
to
get
over
such
things.
It
was
a
novel
situation,
I
haven't
been
locked
inside
a
room
before!"
He
points
out,
"It
becomes
more
awkward
at
such
events
when
I
am
asked
to
sing
impromptu.
After
Rock
On!!
wherever
I
go,
people
expect
me
to
break
out
in
song
and
it's
hard
to
do
that.
'Kuch
ek-do
line
gaa
lijiye' they
say
but
I
feel
awkward
to
sing
randomly
like
that.
Fortunately,
they
didn't
ask
me
to
sing
in
Kanpur."
