A strange incident of a youngster blackmailing and threatening to shoot a popular Indian actress in an attempt to make her agree to marry him has taken place in Uttar Pradesh.

Popular Bhojpuri actress Ritu Singh was recently to UP for a film shoot.  She had been staying with the film crew in a star hotel, and in an unexpected way, a stranger reached her room by night and started blackmailing her at gunpoint to marry him.  Frightened, Ritu screamed, and as a person came to her help, the youngster shot himself in his hand.

With the noise heard, the hotel staff alerted the police, who arrived and instructed the youngster to surrender, but the youngster shot at the police officers as well, and one of them luckily escaped.

After a fight for around 2 hours, the man was arrested, and after this incident, Ritu Singh and the film's team canceled the shoot and headed back home.
