"When we began #Bhakshak," she wrote, "Pulkit (director of the film) had said, 'Bhumi, this story will never leave people.' Shooting the film was filled with emotional moments that stay with me. Our ‘story’ was reality for these children. They were so young that they probably didn’t even know what was happening with them. This thought kept us going. We have to make a film free of all corruption and with all the right intentions."

The 34-year-old actress further stated, "This one is beyond a hit or flop. It’s about how deep it affects you when you watch it. Today we stand victorious. We felt the impact. Let’s not stop. If our film made you feel and the next time you see injustice big or small do your bit :) We all have a Vaishali Singh (her character in the film) in us."
