Hema Malini's behaviour was deemed unpleasant and cranky by some people, while others supported her right to personal space.
A user wrote, “She is acting like she is untouchable or something,” while another one said, “Lady didn’t mean any harm. She looked at her in disgust. Very bad behaviour.”
Some fans supported her saying, "People need to understand boundaries & personal space.”
A fan also said, “I understand that this behaviour is not good but it is also not appropriate to come into someone’s personal space or touching them without permission, fans should also understand that there is a thin line of personal space, and also celebs can politely convey this to the fans.”
Some also compared her with Jaya Bachchan, saying “Jaya Bachan and Hema Malini are the most grumpy female celebrities.”
The event has sparked conversations about how to strike a balance between being a fan and respecting someone's personal space. RJ Malishka wrote, "Don’t touch people without CONSENT. If they are uncomfortable they are. This is not attitude this is decency and space. Just because we see someone on screen a certain way doesn’t mean for a minute that they are not real people who are uncomfortable being touched by strangers without consent."
