He is just too excited and tried to pose for a picture. I dont find anything bad in it! I have seen girl fans do it to Male actors on multiple occassions and nobody batted an eye then.
Lets not criminalize that youngster for this instance! His intentions were not to harm her!

The way it’s been cheered by the masses made me even more uncomfortable!
