Richa Chadha quoted a tweet that criticised Das and wrote, "Gentle reminder that the pursuit of azaadi must also free us from all-season RWA presidents masquerading as politicos. The ¡®national image¡¯ argument is irrelevant, when brutal crimes make global headlines and the country has fallen several ranks in ALL indices".

Actor Ashwin Mushran shared Das' statement and wrote, "Easy folks - This ain't an apology...Of course you need to know how to read to understand that minor point... What I'm saying is that there are 2 Indias...1 who sits through 6 minutes of a video and the other who rushes through 15 seconds of an edited one of the same".
