Vikrant Massey also talked about touching his wife, Sheetal’s feet, and revealed that he hadn’t done it for the first time on Karwa Chauth. The actor stated that he touches his wife’s feet  out of ‘pure conviction’ because only good things have happened since she entered his life. Sheetal, too, touches his feet for the same reason. Vikrant further said:

“It’s not the first time I’ve touched her feet. We’ve been together for 11 years now. I genuinely believe in the tradition — we perform Lakshmi Puja, touch her feet, and we say that by touching a woman’s feet, all good things happen. Then why do people have a problem with that?”
