Soon after, Twitterati stood in support of the actress and some even termed this behaviour by the channel as bullying. "Was categorically told this when I suggested I'm planning a punjabi film with a concept of haryanvi Lady cop vs punjabi male cop in a Romcom, "you got paid for it then" was thrown at my face when I reminded em how chandramukhi was conceived by me replacing their marathi cop idea,” she further revealed.

She further pointed out how nepotism is not the only unfair treatment that actors have to face. "Nepotism ain't in the list of unfair treatments actors have to adhere, while channel/producers enjoy royalty repeats, Rights of product cooked by actors n technicians, power to malign rep, traps of contracts, n more! Fight the real evils instead of attacking star kids pointlessly,” she wrote.
