Reel-life bodyguard turns real

BANGALORE: Actor-turned-politician Jaggesh on Thursday showed what it means to confront a baddie, in true “filmy” style. The actor, who had come Renukamba studio to watch the premiere of his new film Bodyguard noticed a girl in distress as her chain was snatched by bike-borne miscreants. The girl was in the midst of a struggle with the chain snatchers and was shouting for help, when Jaggesh, with the help of a motorist chased the chain snatchers and cornered them. Passers-by too swung into action and the chain snatchers were caught soon. The duo said they wanted to host a party for their friends and were running short of pocket money. “I was angry at them that I wanted to beat them up, but I controlled my anger,” Jaggesh said.
