Vikrant took to Instagram to share photos of him and Sheetal celebrating Karwa Chauth at their home with the moon visible in the background. In the photos, Sheetal was seen performing the puja, and in a few, Vikrant was seen touching her feet.
The actor revisited his post during an interview with The Lallantop. Vikrant said, “My phone had six photos, but only four of them became a topic of discussion. Some people liked it, while others even abused me. I don’t understand why. I believe that if you want peace at home, you should touch your wife’s feet from time to time. People made those photos viral”.
“She is the Lakshmi of my home, and I don’t think it’s wrong to touch Lakshmi’s feet. I proudly say that she came into my life 10 years ago and changed it for the better. Ever since she entered my life, only good things have happened, and to keep it that way, I continue to touch her feet,” he added.
