While talking about growing up in Delhi, as Delhi has been a hub of sexual harassment cases, she said, "I had to deal with myself; I couldn't openly speak about it with my mom and dad. I didn't want to talk about it with my sister because I felt she might get scared; she was younger."

When Suresh Mathew asked about the recent judgement about rape cases that the victim should marry the rapist as punishment, the actress said, "How this is a punishment for the person who committed the crime and a justice for the girl? I am not able to wrap my head around it. And this is one occasion among multiple occasions; we feel let down as a female."

On being allegedly accused of certain properties by It-department, the Pink actress said, "I didn't expect it to happen. For my family, especially it was out of blue. I know I am in the public eye, and we pay a cost of being the public figure. So you need to be ready for any kind of scrutiny at any point. Can be IT, Can be NCB, can be anything."
