“I don’t like girls I don’t know touching me. I also don’t like being overly affectionate. My childhood friends know this too. I will not draw anyone closer to me beyond a certain limit. I don’t like the way people are behaving in our boundary.’- said Anarkali.

She also added, “It is not male or female. It doesn’t matter if they are the ones we like. It is a multi-layered issue. That is not to say that this thing cannot be done in some circumstances. The actress also clarified it is something to be understood from the eyes and body language.”
