Kannada actor Kiran Raj recently left fans worried after he posted a video with lions on Instagram. One of the videos showed a lion charging at him even as a handler tried to control it. Fans were worried for his safety as the video soon circulated on social media, claiming that he was ‘attacked’ by a lion. He posted a video to clarify what happened, asking his followers not to spread misinformation.
Kiran last starred in the Kannada film Ronny: The Ruler in 2024. He has Jockey 42 lined up. Because i have played with Rocky since he was young, it’s a very safe atmosphere.
Kiran then called out those spreading misinformation and added, “Please do not spread it by adding different captions, or in a different way, by adding different background music to it. It’s creating panic and misinformation. I have a little bond with him, it’s completely safe. All safety precautions are also in place. So, thank you for the concern. One picture shows him with a handler, all smiles, posing with the lions; another shows them petting the lions as they nuzzle the handler. But the video everyone’s talking about shows Kiran walking away from the lion. But the lion charges at him from behind and takes a swipe even as the handler tries to control the situation. The actor can be seen running towards the exit gate, but is body slammed by the lion. Reading the worried comments under the post, Kiran wrote, “Don’t worry guys , if am able to post this. I am fine. He starred in Hindi and Kannada TV shows such as Tu Aashiqui, Devathe, Kannadathi, and Karna.
