According to online reports, the male fan put his arm around Vidya without even asking for her consent. Feeling uncomfortable with the overly friendly gesture, Vidya allegedly warned the fan not to do that and the same was also conveyed by her manager. However, during a second attempt at clicking a picture, the man once again put his arm around her to which Vidya hit back asking him what he was doing saying "this is wrong".

Pointing out that he couldn't behave himself, Vidya refused to take a picture and walked off.

Speaking about the same to an online portal, the star explained that one tends to get uncomfortable when a man or woman intrudes into one's personal space. According to the report, the Vidya admitted that she is a 'public figure', but also pointed out that she is "not public property".
