Actor Shamita Shetty was called out by the internet for her rude behaviour towards a fan who was asking for a selfie. In a video which went viral on social media over the weekend, Shamita could be seen getting frustrated at a woman and swinging her arm to quickly click a picture. Many fans called her behaviour ‘rude’ and ‘disgusting’. Now, she has offered an explanation.
Shamita took to Instagram on Monday morning to defend herself. She shared a collage of media reports on the video and how she handled her fan. She said she was not feeling well but still indulged the woman.
“Feel sad today …Nobody really understands the state of mind of an artist .i was rushing out of the place with an emergency to attend too, with a slip disc in my neck .. I don’t wanto get into details of that but I still complied with a photo to my fans waiting there but it was taking so long that I was getting impatient…I can’t walk around with a board that I’m under medical treatment for a very painful neck slip disc but try to keep a smile on my face & did take pic n helped her take the pic as she was struggling with the right lighting.
Im aware as celebrities we are constantly judged especially in the world of social media where it’s very easy for people to say things ..I take it in my stride but there s no need to hit below the belt..it’s because I cared that I still took those photo s . I love my fans n respect the love and admiration they give me and that will always be a constant in my life !! In the normal case I wouldn’t want to clarify but felt the need to this time . I’m falliable as I’m a human being and do hurt. We all have bad days.. maybe that was mine.. That doesn’t make us bad people…Sending you all positivity , love and light,” she wrote in her post.
