Bipasha Basu was left stunned after she was knocked down by an eager fan at the inaugural of the star-studded 36th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) that got underway in Goa Thursday.

According to an eyewitness, the fan had made a deliberate move to get close to Bipasha. The youth apparently wanted to have a closer look at his favourite star at the IFFI venue and in his eagerness pushed the person in front, who in turn lost his balance and knocked down Bipasha. In the melee, the youth fell over the actress.

The actress wasn't hurt, but was shocked. She had been invited to assist evergreen actor Dev Anand to light the lamp at the ceremony.
