The incident, which has been circulating on social media for over a month, shows Rakesh leaning in to greet 20-year-old Sara Arjun, who played his daughter Yalina Jamali in the film. Rakesh, 71, claims that the internet has twisted his affectionate gesture, which was meant to be a fatherly greeting, into something more sinister. In an interview with Hindustan Times, he emphasizes that Sara is his on-screen daughter and less than half his age. He says that they shared a nice rapport and camaraderie during the shoot, which is also reflected on screen. Rakesh points out that Sara's parents, actor Raj Arjun and Sanya, were present at the event, making it impossible for him to have any ill intent. He attributes the criticism to people's tendency to create issues on social media without considering the context. Despite the backlash, Rakesh has received support from fans who have seen him grow as an actor in popular shows like Shrimaan Shrimati and Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai!. He believes that his body of work is a testament to his character and values, and that it will ultimately speak for him. Rakesh's response to the criticism is a powerful reminder that people should consider the context and intentions behind actions before jumping to conclusions. It's a valuable lesson in the importance of empathy and understanding in our digital age."
