Later, Mehreen took to X (previously, Twitter) to explain that the scene depicting marital rape in the series was misunderstood as an intimate scene by some on social media. ^[2]NDTV She wrote,

There was a scene in Sultan Of Delhi that depicted a brutal Marital Rape. It pains me to see that a serious issue like Marital Rape has been described by many in the media as a Sex Scene. This trivializes something that is a serious issue that many women the world over are currently dealing with.”

She further added,

It disturbs me that a certain section of the media and people on social media have picked upon this, these people should understand that they have sisters and daughters too and I pray to god they never have to go through such trauma in their own lives as just the thought of such brutality and violence against women is repugnant.”
