Rachita Ram
Kannada actress discussing the fan’s birthday gesture
“Their love for me wasn't meant in a bad way. My friends were asking, 'Oh my, didn't you get angry?' When someone does something so cute, like cuddling or affectionately touching a child, that's how my fan did it. It wasn't an inappropriate touch (as translated).”
