Should I wait for the radiator fan to stop before turning off my Scrambler 400X?

Hey everyone, I own a Triumph Scrambler 400 X. Recently, after riding around 25 km from college to home, I turned the bike off immediately after parking. Later that evening, I noticed some coolant leaking underneath the bike, which honestly scared me a bit.

The next day, I took it to the service center. They topped up the coolant to the MAX level (maybe even slightly above it), and the service advisor told me that after a ride, I should wait for the radiator fan to stop before switching off the engine.

Now I’m wondering — is this something all Triumph 400 owners normally do? Do you guys wait for the fan to stop before turning the bike off, or was this just a one-time issue related to coolant expansion/overflow?

Would appreciate your experiences and advice.
