Desk Correspondent , Kolkata - Football legend Lionel Messi was reportedly very uncomfortable during his recent promotional visit to Kolkata. According to Satadru Dutta, the organiser who was recently arrested, the star player did not like the way people were constantly trying to touch him. The event was meant to be a grand celebration, but it quickly turned into a difficult situation for the world-famous athlete. Many fans were overexcited and ignored the personal space of the star, leading to visible frustration. This news has saddened many local supporters who were hoping for a perfect visit from their favorite hero.

The organiser shared details about the star's reaction to the chaotic crowds and the lack of proper management. Satadru Dutta explained that Messi felt overwhelmed by the constant physical contact from strangers throughout the day. He noted the player's disappointment by saying, "Messi was very unhappy with being touched and the way things were handled at the event." It appears that the lack of strict security made the football icon feel unsafe and respected. Dutta also added, "He is a global icon who expects a certain level of professionalism and personal space during such tours."

Following the event, the authorities took action against the organisers for the poor planning and safety failures. The incident has raised many questions about how big international stars should be treated when they visit the country. While fans were happy to see Messi, the lack of discipline has left a bad impression on the star's team. Experts suggest that better barriers and stricter rules are needed to protect guests from such unwanted physical contact. Everyone hopes that future events will be managed much better to avoid making global stars feel so unhappy and disrespected.
