What is the craziest thing a fan has done to you?

A fan has tried to grab and peck me on my cheek. I was alarmed. I had to tell him to step back and steer clear off me. He later on apologised and pleaded for a selfie, which I later obliged.

Would you like your child to go into acting?

I am not sure!!

Why?

With what’s going on now? I would try to talk her out of it. It’s difficult to deal with fame. The society would expect you to act in certain way, talk in certain way, and not seen in certain places!

It’s difficult. However, I am not God. He may have His own purpose for her. After all, we are here to fulfil our purposes on earth.

So, you can’t just walk on the road and buy corn?

No, I can’t. But if I am with my hubby alone in the car, he can pull over and help with that. If I am with someone else, they help too.
