When fans touched Dulquer Salmaan inappropriately

During a recent conversation, Salmaan shared that during the promotions of one of his projects, an older woman "sneaked a peck" on his cheek. "Not very appropriate, but they are sweet," he said, adding that it caught him by surprise as he was not even looking in her direction and was busy posing for pictures.

He went on to recall another "awkward and bizarre" incident with an elderly lady. "Like she squeezed 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’," he shared.

Salmaan said that a lot of times it happens because people don't know where to keep their hands, but things get uncomfortable in situations like these. "I was trying to smile and I was wondering what is happening and I didn’t know how to get out of it," he admitted.
