[2]Amar Ujala In an Instagram video, she talked about this and said,
In an interview with a media channel, some misunderstandings happened which is fine. “COMPROMISE” is a big word, which I will never ever use for anyone because I know the meaning of it. People are spicing up things and exaggerating the small topic which technically took place because of some misunderstanding. So, My simple reply to all, in simple words, is that “I respect all my co-stars and I worship my work.”
