Summary

  • Kevin Kunta surged online during promotional events for Ram Charan’s film Peddi, with his strict demeanor turning the bodyguard into a social media talking point.
  • Nearly 4 years into working with Ram Charan and his family, Kunta drew attention for his commanding presence, distinctive style and discipline rather than any on-screen role.
  • Kunta already had a public-facing profile as an international MMA fighter and model, helping explain why his appearance resonated beyond routine security work.
  • Celebrity bodyguards have gone viral before, including Salman Khan’s longtime guard Shera, Adele’s former protector Peter Van Der Veen and Kim Kardashian’s ex-bodyguard Pascal Duvier.
