Kozhikode: Actress Navya Nair was subjected to inappropriate behaviour by a man in the crowd during the promotion of her upcoming film Paathirathri at a busy mall in Kozhikode on Saturday night. The incident occurred shortly after the film’s audio launch event, which witnessed a large turnout of fans.

As Navya was exiting the stage area with co-star Soubin Shahir, someone in the crowd attempted to inappropriately touch her. Soubin reacted immediately, blocking the person’s hand and preventing the situation from escalating. A video of the moment has since gone viral, showing both the attempted misconduct and the actor's quick intervention.

Navya was seen reacting sharply to the incident, clearly disturbed by the behaviour. The video has sparked discussions online around the safety of women in public spaces, especially during promotional events that often involve close public interaction.
