The report soon surfaced on Reddit, where users shared mixed reactions. One user humoursly added, “Ya script ki nahi ghar ki demand thi. Warna Aditya ki haalat Hamza jaisi ho jaati start wali - bahar sona and Khana padta.”

“I hope they are not connecting it to Uri,” another added. “In the credits it was mentionsd special thanks to yami so i knew shell have something aise hi na koi biwi hai bolkar daalega,” one wrote.

“Ye bhi ek type ka nepotism hai. Casting his wife in his movies plus hiring yami’s brother as editor and promoting during launch. Chalta hai, he’s not KJO,” another user added.

However, not all reactions were critical; many fans spoke up in her defence. “They said at the very beginning that she will have a cameo in the Movie. That was mentioned when articles came out who is Part of the Movie,” wrote one. “Bravo Dhar,” another wrote.
