As quoted by India.com, she revealed, "The conventional Bollywood always has distanced itself from its roots and always ridiculed our values or a particular section. My fight against this has been ongoing since decade. Whether I have spoken about sexism in item numbers or equal pay parity for all. There is a section who works for making money, while a new segment has emerged out of national awakening that focuses on storytelling related to the downtrodden sections of society. There are films on national unity and integrity or to project our country in a positive way at the global platform."
She went on to share that the filmmakers have shown the country in a negative light by focusing more on corruption and jugaad. According to her, such stories are being rejected by hardworking Indians. She also spoke about how celebrities and brands that supported anti-nationals have started to endorse national values. According to her, the audience today has gained national consciousness.
"Those among Bollywood Mafia who would not stand-up for national anthem have started endorsing nationalism as they are now scared that the brands would disassociate with them. The brands that used to support anti-nationals earlier have understood that people today have gained a new national consciousness. It is a beginning of new age," she concluded.
