A small moment at a recent awards event has caused a big stir online, involving Bollywood actor Rakul Preet Singh and fitness influencer Lakshay Jaggi. A video clip showed Rakul Preet handing a trophy to Jaggi, who accepted it and walked off the stage quickly, without shaking hands, smiling, or exchanging any words. Many viewers interpreted the clip as Jaggi ignoring or snubbing Rakul Preet, which quickly went viral.
Lakshay Jaggi Explains What Happened
Lakshay Jaggi has now released a video statement to clarify the situation. He explained that the moment was misunderstood and that his actions were influenced by what happened just before he was called on stage. According to Jaggi, an elderly female awardee had received her trophy moments earlier, and Rakul Preet did not shake hands with her.
“Seeing that, I didn’t intend to insult anyone,” Jaggi said. “I took my award and moved ahead because I felt there was no custom of shaking hands at that point. I did not know anyone would feel insulted.” He emphasized that his behavior was not meant to disrespect Rakul Preet and that the incident was taken out of context.
Who is Lakshay Jaggi?
Lakshay Jaggi is a well-known Indian fitness influencer and content creator. He shares videos related to fitness, lifestyle, and health tips, and has a strong online presence with over four lakh followers. With his statement, he wanted to clarify the misunderstanding and ensure the incident is not blown out of proportion.
