Hema gets uncomfortable

In a video shared by a paparazzo on Instagram, Hema was seen standing next to singer Anup Jalota and a woman. As they got ready to pose for the cameras, the woman tried to hold Hema on her waist.

Internet reacts to Hema's gesture to woman

Reacting to the video, a fan said, "She’s absolutely right. No one should touch or vice versa without your consent or familiarity." A person wrote, "Nothing wrong here. Even I wouldn’t like a stranger putting her hand on my shoulder. People need to understand boundaries and personal space." "Touching someone can be annoying," a comment read.

"I understand that people can get uncomfortable when a stranger touches them, but the lady seemed too excited. Poor her! Maybe she had been dreaming of this day for so long. Sometimes innocence can be annoying, but at the end of the day, she is just a fan who is trying to take a picture with her favorite actress," commented an Instagram user.
