Speaking of the negativity, Vineeta Singh said, "Your appearance, as a woman, is given so much importance. Even on Instagram, I¡¯ve achieved so much in life, but when I post something, 95% of the comments are about the way you look. It¡¯s one of those things. It¡¯s a by-product of being a girl."
"Now I can deal with criticism and ignore it, I really thought I couldn't. It has been super eye-opening and I am very lucky for that as there is little evolution," she said during the interaction with Bhagat.

About facing the trolls, the businesswoman added, ¡°Nobody mentioned Steve Jobs identical T-shirt kyu pehenta hai, and they never questioned that, right? It was fantastic for Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs to put on the identical T-shirt¡ It was cool, actually. But in India, individuals give too much importance and thought to this.¡±
