She expressed her frustration over the hate Apoorva is facaing, highlighting how women are often targeting simply for existing and embracing themselves. She noted that the same issue faced by others becomes worse when it involves a woman, making safety and protection feel uncertain.

She wrote, “It’s so unfair, the hate and cruelty she’s being put through. I hope none of you ever have to experience what she’s going through.”

Meanwhile, Apoorva is now facing legal trouble, with an FIR filed against her and police summoning her for questioning earlier this week. She has maintained her silence over the controversy, while Ranveer issued an apology for his comment, and Samay issued a statement stating that he has deleted all the episodes of India’s Got Latent from his YouTube channel.
