"I’m touched by the incredible amount of support we’ve received. These types of incidents really knock my confidence but you’d never know it as I put on a brave face, " Patel told the Daily Mail. Adding, "In reality, I feel like a terrified little boy inside. I hope this serves as a little reminder to slow down."
