The actress captioned her post, "So sad to see media misquoting blatantly and other outlets just copy-pasting blindly without proof check!" She went on to highlight how Mahesh Bhatt’s name was unnecessarily dragged into the narrative, creating false sensationalism.

In her Instagram post, she wrote, "Here is the video of my conversation with Ranveer Allahabadia and just to sensationalise you guys decide to use Mahesh Bhatt's name and outright misquote! He said, ‘Enjoy it! ‘cos the day they stop talking about you, that is the day you will cry.’”

At the end she wrote "I thought after 20 years atleast media will become more responsible!"
