Spot wasn't dangerous as there were two more steps: Amruta

Amruta took the selfie during the inauguration of domestic cruise-liner Angriya in Mumbai on Oct 20. "The spot where I clicked selfie wasn't dangerous because there were two more steps below," she told media. "If anyone thinks I've made some mistake, then I apologize for it. I want to tell the youth that they shouldn't take excessive risk to take a selfie," she said.
