The actress opened up about that incident during her conversation with Mid-day, she was in complete disbelief when she heard the news.She stated “Yeh sach hai? [Is it true]? How can someone…”
When asked about her take on fandom and things that fans end up doing for their idols she said “There’d be fan mails. We wondered to test, if it was in actual blood. I’d be shattered, if it was. Best to appreciate, and leave it at that. How can people place humans on such a pedestal, that they’ll fall from, anyway?”
