Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna served as Grand Marshals at the 43rd India Day Parade in New York, the largest Independence Day celebration outside India. Videos of the duo greeting fans and holding hands briefly went viral online.
After the event, a large group of fans sought pictures with the actor. Due to security and safety protocols, the area was barricaded, restricting interaction between the acclaimed actor and his fans. Despite this, Pankaj Tripathi leaned down to pose for selfies with those behind the barricades, ensuring many could capture a moment with him.
