Aditi Shetty on Preity Zinta’s fan harassment issue: We love all the attention… but there's a thin line between getting excited and making someone uncomfortable

Preity Zinta recently took to social media to share about two incidents that left her "a bit shaken", one is about a woman who plated "a big wet kiss next to" her daughter Gia's mouth and a disabled man harassing her for money. She explained what had actually happened in both cases too. This is not the first time a celebrity has complained of harassment. Actor Aditi Shetty reacts to the same. She also opines on whether it’s tough for celebrities to control fans at times and if the paparazzi make it tough for them to manage things.

“When you're a celebrity and people look up to you, they would obviously get really excited to get just a glance of you or take a picture with you or have a conversation with you, which is a part and parcel of the job. I think, as artists, we know that and also appreciate the attention when it comes to our fans because it really motivates us. But then there's a very thin line between getting excited and then making someone uncomfortable. We have to understand that celebrities are human beings first and you touching them inappropriately or talking to them in a certain way where you're getting aggressive or demanding things is not acceptable ,” she says.

Sharing her experience, Aditi adds, “As an actor I myself face encounters where there are people who want to come get a picture clicked with you, but one has to understand that they can't  hold your waist or can't put their hand around your shoulder because you're not their friend. You're meeting them for the very first time and you want a picture and they're happy to do that but you cannot cross the line and make someone uncomfortable.”
