Uspe itna dhyaan nahi dena chahiye (What do you want me to do about this now? There are so many people in the crowd, and we have bodyguards present too. But fans think they are getting a chance to meet, so someone extends their hand for a handshake, some kiss the hands... this is all madness. We shouldn't pay too much attention to it)," he added.
