Sunny FINALLY Opens Up On THIS Viral Video Controversy, Says, “I have not done something wrong”
Now, Sunny Deol has finally opened up on the airport viral video controversy in his latest podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia. The actor said, “Sometimes what happens is that I am constantly running around. I also got a catch in my back recently, but still, I am at it and I have to go along with it. So many times it has happened that I am in pain but still have to keep moving. Obviously, fans love you, and you share that with them. A lot of times, even when it (selfie) is done, they don’t move away. So at that time, I am not thinking if someone is recording me, and what I’m thinking is, ‘Let me carry on. Please try and understand’. There is an emotional connection with fans.”
Further addressed the negative comments on the incident and said, “Whoever wants to edit and present it like that does it, and those who are doing it are having fun, so let them have fun. I am not going to change because of that. I have not done something wrong.”
Speaking in Punjabi, he added, “Next time I meet the fan, I will say, ‘I have made a mistake, please forgive me. At that time, my mind was in such a space, please try and understand.’ I would hug him and tell him that I didn’t mean it.’”
