The actor recollected a moment from an awards function when the media left her in between an interview to attend a star kid who had arrived. She said, “It’s not their fault, they are star kids, it is we, as common people, who are so intrigued to know what’s going on in their life. I will give you one simple example, an award night was going on, and an interview session was happening, and I was in the middle of an interview and the media ran behind the star kid. Now tell me, I was awarded as Best Actor Critics, the same as Janhvi being awarded the same night. I wasn’t even handed a speech. I am not jealous but it is not their fault either.”
