Reacting to the boycott trend, the producer in an interview with Navbharat Times, expressed her disappointment and said that people are boycotting those who have given the best of business in the industry.

She further stated that all the Khans in the industry are legends, especially Aamir Khan and that we cannot boycott them.

'It is so strange we are boycotting the very people who have given the best of business in the industry. All the Khans in the industry (Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan), and especially Aamir Khan are legends. We cannot boycott them. Aamir Khan can never be boycotted, the soft ambassador Aamir Khan can not be boycotted,' she said.
