Update:In response to my gentle demand for acknowledgement, the makers of MIH put out a hostile statement calling it ‘misleading’. Was it also misleading when Alankrita Shrivastava, the writer/director of MIH requested a meeting with me in NY on July 15, 2022 that lasted 5 hours? pic.twitter.com/cNJHbroTHX

I went to New York in July 2022.
Speaking about the controversy, Yashica reportedly spoke to Hindustan Times and said "This entire narrative has been twisted & horribly disfigured to serve the interests of savarna indie Bollywood, to make them appear progressive on screen as they continue to steal the likeness & stories of real Dalit folks, while also clamping down on them when they ask for credit."
With the new twist in the controversy, netizens are divided on taking sides and are actually confused who is speaking the truth and is factually correct.
