The actor received a warm reception from a large crowd in Pirpainti and Kahalgaon during her roadshow. “They say when someone gives you a place in their heart, you live there forever. My heart is full from all the love and support you have given me. Thank you for the warm welcome Pirpainti and Kahalgaon. Aapka pyar sar ankhon par. #Eternally grateful,” the 36-year-old wrote.
