Sometimes, fans would get “offended” that she didn’t click with them, even though there was a high chance she couldn’t hear them in a crowd of 3,000-4,000.Sometimes, the interactions get deeply unsettling. “And there have been instances where I have gone to certain events and, you know, itni proximity pe there are like two or three people who are… like I can smell that they are reeking of alcohol. And I’m like, I don’t want to associate with… like, I don’t even want to engage with this person. But you can’t get rude because there are other people also,” Daisy added.While some may see this as a celebrity being overly cautious, mental health experts say such reactions are deeply human.DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
