It has led to several cheap memes circulating on social media.
The actress took to Instagram to share a post silencing her haters. She wrote, "Have been reading so many news lately on molestation and rape! When people in our country are worshiping goddesses what a shame for not being respectful enough to know certain boundaries that make you a human and not an animal! It's easier to judge a woman on the basis of how much they cover up their skin, but it's hard to accept your own cheap mentality where you can't stop staring at those inappropriate areas which you are asking her to cover! Wake up and start accepting that we are not going to be anybody's idea of an "Indian girl" don't let your frustration destroy somebody's life because you won't be happy if it happens in your own family! Stop this hypocrisy and open your mind!"
She also added that she really felt the need to share the message. The actress thanked her family, friends and fans for standing with her and giving her strength.
