He added, “I stepped out of my building and said ‘no one will step in my space. Do not step over this line. No one should know where I live in Andheri. I live in this isolated part of Andheri. Don’t go tell your friends where I stay and I don’t want you all outside my house’. I mean I like talking to them, but they are not my friends.”
He added, “They cannot ask me personal questions. They are not journalists, in fact no one can ask me personal questions without my consent.”
