Media manhandled during 'Karthik...' promotion in Surat

New Delhi, Feb 21 (IANS) Farhan Akhtar and Deepika Padukone's promotional tour for 'Karthik Calling Karthik' in Surat turned ugly Sunday after mediapersons were caught in a brawl with security personnel during a press conference.

The actors were addressing the media but things took an ugly turn when security guards apparently tried to push the media away from the stars.

According to reports, the mediapersons were even baton charged.

After the incident, Farhan wrote on his twitter blog: 'We all are fine here... Now heading for Ahmedabad... Thanks for ur concern...'

Farhan and Deepika are on a promotional tour for their film to Ahmedabad, Surat, Delhi, Chandigarh and Jaipur.
