Sita Ramam star Dulquer Salmaan has been hogging all the limelight, all thanks to his stellar performance in the Netflix web series Guns & Gulaabs. Now, in a recent interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, the actor revealed that he was touched inappropriately by a fan which left him in pain. Upon being asked about any weird interaction with fans, Dulquer shared, "An older lady, I don't know why… and it was very awkward and very bizarre. Like she squeezed (the back) and I was in pain. I don't think it was that kind of a grab, I don't know what…. and she was way older. I don't know what it meant and I was on stage and a lot of people were standing there and I was like ‘Aunty please come and stand here'. I held her…”
Reflecting on the incident, the actor continued, "A lot of times, people don't know where to keep their hands. Sometimes it is on your behind. But this was… in the pictures, I was trying to smile and I (was wondering) what is happening and I didn't know how to get out of it.”
The Karwaan actor also shared another incident where a fan kissed him without prior consent. “An older woman, while taking pictures, had sneaked a peck on my cheek. Not very appropriate but I am not even looking there, I am posing for the picture and suddenly there's a peck. Sometimes it catches you by surprise.”
Meanwhile, Dulquer Salmaan's King Of Kotha trailer received big love from stars across the country. From Shah Rukh Khan to Suriya, Nagarjuna and Mohanlal, everyone cheered for the film on social media.
