“It was a mistake knowing that it was a staff “
When the film Journey is released, you will understand what is really going on here. There is a scene in this film where I hit a boy. We must first practice for this.
I hit a boy on the head as part of practice when he came to the shooting set knowing he was part of our crew. But I later learned that he had come to take a picture with me.
I called him again, but the boy was nowhere to be found. He explained that this was a misunderstanding-related incident. Patekar stated that the incident occurred by accident, and that despite extensive searches, the youth was not found.
I did not act inappropriately with the person who came to take the photo. I’ve taken thousands of pictures with fans.
The scene was shot in a crowded market with many people. There was some confusion about who was on our team and who was on the outside. He claimed that the incident occurred by accident.\
Please forgive me if you have any misconceptions about this scene. I’ve never hit anyone or done anything like this.
The people of Varanasi and everyone have shown me so much love, explained the incident, and assured me that I will never do anything like this again.
