Here we have a transcripted excerpt from the video where he talks about the criticism he received on how he hugged the women in the house. This is what he had to say:
“Amidst so many talks, people reported that I went inside the Bigg Boss house just to hug women. Do you guys know that to touch a woman, you need to gain her trust? Only then they will come closer. Beyond all that, they trusted me. You cannot touch a woman easily, friends. We only hugged them to express our affection. It was the same kind of embracement that happens between a mother and a child. You people criticized that, but you should know that I am used to criticism because that is the reason I am here today.”
