She believes people should be judged by their character and actions.

She also said that success in Bollywood can make someone seem more senior than their age does.

She said she was not experienced enough at the time to understand the industry’s hidden behavior.

In her caption, she warned that some veteran figures may manipulate people and protect their reputations.

Her main message was to see people for who they are, rather than judging them by age or background.
