India, June 16 -- Avideo of actor Avinash Tiwary recently surfaced online, secretly recorded by a fan while he was working out at the gym. The fan, Arpita Thapa, captioned the clip, "Mtlb sorry @avinashtiwary15 for the sneaky clicks." Avinash took it sportingly and even reshared the video on his Instagram Story, writing, "Wasn't part of my fitness plan." However, the fan's post drew criticism for invading his privacy and for recording him without his consent. Reacting to the incident, the actor tells us, "First of all, we do need to value each other's space, and this is what I told the girl who made that video also." He adds, "She was getting a lot of bashing, and I told her, 'Don't worry; don't listen to people,' because I know she came with love, and isn't a threat to me. But this can encourage a lot of people to do things like this." Avinash says, "I would always say that privacy is important. I didn't want somebody to make a video like that. But I told her that now that you have made it, I know it has come because of love, and I respect that. It is sweet, but it seems a slightly stupid thing to do, honestly." Responding to online backlash, especially from those who feel this could have been perceived differently had a man recorded a woman, the actor says, "The boys are commenting saying, 'hum kardein agar ye gender reverse, to?' But tum ho threat duniya ke liye, ladkiyon ke liye. If such boys stalk someone, they are a threat, so there is a distinction," he explains. The video gave fans a glimpse into Avinash's workout routine. Ask if he's bulking up for a role, he replies, "I was always into fitness, it's just that I change [the way I look] for the parts that I would play. But unfortunately, in our industry, we don't recognise and value it."...
