Raveena shares fan's message
On her Instagram Stories, Raveena shared what Bhavin wrote for her after her post on X. It read, Hello Reema, this Bhavin, I just read Raveena Instagram post regarding an incident that took place a few days ago London. Please could you share this to her. Hi Raveena, my is Bhavin Patel from London and the story which was uploaded on Instagram story today regarding about incident, just to let you know that I was the guy who approached you at...few days ago."
Raveena's fan says he was excited to see her
"I was walking and I was pretty sure I saw you and I was excited that I saw you and I really wanted a photo because I grew up watching your movies and I have been following your career from day one and you are my favourite actress that's why I approached you because I was hoping to get a photo," he added.
Fan told her not to apologise
He concluded, "I can fully understand from a woman's point of view that it can be scary when guys approached, especially when you are away from home. And you do not need to apologise and I was upset what happened because I was in shock. Whatever happened, you are still my favourite. After reading the story, my respect has increased."
Why Raveena didn't pose with her fan
Raveena recently took to X, explaining why she reacted the way she did. "Hi, this is just to put on record. That a few days ago in London, I was walking by and a few men approached me, I anyway have heard not such great things about the crime situation here, so I withdrew a bit when they asked if I was who I am, and my first instinct was to say no and walk away even faster as I was alone, they just wanted a picture I guess, and I most of the time oblige, but after the incident that happened in Bandra a few months ago, has left me a bit nervous and traumatised, so when I’m with people I am ok, but alone I still get a bit nervous these days."
"I should’ve probably given them a photo as maybe they were innocent fans, but I panicked and walked away fast and just asked a security guy for help. I have felt really bad after this incident, and would want to apologise to them through this medium if they are reading, that it was not my intention to offend. I’m really sorry. Hope I can meet you again and click a picture with you maybe. I try my best to be accessible and normal, but I fail at times. So sorry guys. I hope you are reading this and know that, I shouldn’t have panicked," she had said.
Earlier in June, a scuffle involving Raveena's driver was reported outside her house in Mumbai.
