I could remember what a fan did to me in United States( New York) when I went for one of my awards ceremony. A guy from nowhere, who is fan just walked up to me to take a selfie. He didn’t event bother whether I was in the mood for all that I not. It made me a bit embarrassed. But at some point I realized, I’m blessed and that I am equally on the right track in my chosen profession as an actor.”
