She said, "The advertisement was a big opportunity for me and I think for any actor to share the screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar in the same project would be a huge and unprecedented space and deal. In my professional capacity, as an actor, given an opportunity like this, I will certainly pick it up. It doesn't necessarily have to be my personal choice. I am very upright as a person, a dentist, and an individual."
She further adds, "Neither I support nor endorse any wrong aspect/ consumption of any product or brand. Having said that, my personal opinion may vary from my career choices." Soundarya Sharma is known for her appearance on Bigg Boss 16 further elaborated further, stating, "I underwent an audition process among 500+ girls and secured this opportunity exclusively. It wouldn't have been sensible to decline such a significant chance, knowing it would make me the first to share screen space with SRK, Akshay Kumar, and Ajay Devgn in a single project."
She concluded and said, "This opportunity overwhelmed me and held immense importance for my acting career. Additionally, I believe people are well aware of the positives and negatives associated with what they consume, so it's challenging to impose restrictions on their personal choices."
