I personally feel that's okay; that's somebody's opinion. That's what I wrote. Anybody can give an opinion about you. But somebody's opinion will not be my personality. Jo main hoon, woh kisi ke nazariye se nahin badalta hai. Main jo hoon, main hoon,” Yash said. He went on to say that anybody who abuses an actor for sharing their comments cannot be his fan.
