The star then mentioned as to why he greets his fans, whom he fondly calls as his extended family, barefoot.

".. some sarcastically commented on a few occasions .. "who goes out wearing socks and bare feet .. I say ..'I DO' ! .. you got a problem with that !!?? You go to the temple bare feet .. my well wishers are my temple !!"
