During an interview with News18, Mouni Roy said, ¡°I truly feel blessed and grateful. I didn¡¯t imagine such a reaction. I didn¡¯t think I would get so much of love, adulation and respect for playing Junoon.¡± She further spoke of the #BoycottBrahmastra trend and said that it didn¡¯t bother her however, she would wonder why somebody would judge the film without even watching it.

"If you watch it and then don¡¯t like it, you can express so. But these are all phantom people, who are hiding behind their screens. They don¡¯t have anything else to do and have surplus amount of time. So, they waste it doing these things,¡± Mouni Roy said.

Meanwhile, people have liked Shah Rukh Khan's performance so much that they are now demanding a spin-off for 'Vanarastra.' Even Ayan Mukerji has confirmed that SRK's presence will not be limited to Part One, but he'll be back to entertain his fans in the next of his 'Brahmastra' trilogy.
