Riddhi Kumar Urges Respect

Riddhi Kumar, who was present at the event, spoke about the importance of respecting an actor’s personal boundaries. She acknowledged that performers value the admiration and love of audiences but emphasised that it must come with mutual respect. “At the end of the day, we do what we do for the admiration and love of people. But admiration has to come with respect, and with respect comes space,” she said. She further added, “It’s very important to give people space so they feel comfortable. If I love someone, I wouldn’t want them to feel uncomfortable. That’s the simplest way I can put it.” Police Register Case Against Organisers After Nidhhi Agerwal Is Mobbed and Pushed at ‘The Raja Saab’ Song Launch Event in Hyderabad.
