Recalling how people reacted to her words, in a recent interview, the actress said, ¡°I think it¡¯s only a section of people that are trolling. But genuinely, I think that the love the film is getting is very different. These are just a section of people who are probably on your social media, which is probably like 1%,¡± when asked by RJ Siddharth if she was being disrespectful towards the audience with her recent remarks.
She went on to say that people people should not boycott Laal Singh Chaddha as she claims "it's such a beautiful film."
"I want people to see me and Aamir (Khan) on screen. It¡¯s been three years, we¡¯ve waited so long. So, please don¡¯t boycott this film, because it¡¯s actually like boycotting good cinema. And people have worked so hard on it; we¡¯ve had 250 people work on this film for two-and-a-half years,¡± she added and urged the audience to not boycott their latest release.
In another interview, the actress had also stated that stardom cannot guarantee the commercial success of a film anymore.

The film also marks south star Naga Chaitanya's debut in Bollywood. The actor plays an extended cameo character of Laal¡¯s buddy Bala in the army.
Speaking about social media feedback, the actor told Mashable India, ¡°I do during the film release but it¡¯s very toxic also out there. It¡¯s mad. But if you learn to filter it out the right way and use it as a tool, it can help you immensely."
