Not one to engage directly in controversy, Bipasha Basu appeared to address the issue indirectly through an empowering Instagram Story. She wrote:

“Strong women lift each other up. Get those muscles beautiful ladies, we should be strong. Muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age-old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong. Love yourself.”
