There was a deep itch within me for the last 3-4 days which I just couldn’t shake off. Being brought up in a middle-class Indian household the value and importance of education is not lost on me.

“A few of them still recognised me even with the mask, sunglasses and cap (I don’t know how) but they just smiled and shook my hands, gave me fist bumps, thanked me (I don’t know for what) completely respecting my choice of privacy. Who taught them these manners? Must be some foreign influence because the previous generations hardly knew these things,” added the star.
