And for those who are well versed with the incident and the catastrophe that followed, Here’s what Jackie has to say about it all.

In a recent chat with a leading daily, Jacqueline shared, “I know what my intention was and it wasn’t wrong. I have a nephew. He does not like to be hugged at times, but I still hug him as I am his aunt. My intentions weren’t wrong and it’s my right to believe that. At the same time, I completely respect other people’s opinions. Like I said, I have a right to believe that I did nothing wrong and my feelings were just like that of an elder sister towards a younger brother. I feel it is important that people voice opinions. It is fantastic. Just because we are celebs, does not mean that people would stay quiet. It is not like you can do something and get away with it. It is great that people have opined and I respect that. I understand where people’s concerns are coming from.”

Well, in all fairness, we have seen such incidents before and we never thought of it as wrong, and neither did a majority of viewers who saw the episode in question when it aired recently.
