Responding to trolls and people taking potshots at her, Suchitra said that people like Abu Azmi needs to get well. “Some people have a problem with Azaan, while some have a problem with loud bhajans. We should find a solution to it. I am not asking to stop it, but the sound needs to be dealt with,” said Shekhar Kapur’s ex-wife while talking to a section of media.
Amongst all her criticisers, also was All India Council of the Union of Muslims (AIMIM) MLA Waaris Pathan took pot-shots, calling her a "cheap singer" who tweeted for "publicity." "Such type of cheap singers do this for publicity... She was partying till late in the night... Where was she when Aqlaq was lynched? Where was she when Junaid was thrown on a platform? If she gets so troubled by the sound of azaan, why doesn't she go and stay in Nepal?" questioned Waaris Pathan.
