Divyanka shared her thoughts with TellyChakkar, saying, “How can someone forget about humanity? How can you lock your actor in a room? How can you talk so rudely?” She further added, “There is a way of speaking, like she will send a legal notice for someone using abusive language.”

She strongly feels that actors should not take such incidents lightly and should not be afraid to speak up. While maintaining a positive image is crucial, preserving one’s dignity should never be compromised.

I am suffering from Anxiety and Depression because of this. We hide our emotions and show the brighter side on social media. But this is the Reality.”
Divyanka Tripathi’s reaction to Krishna Mukherjee’s allegations brings to light the ongoing issues of harassment and mistreatment within the entertainment industry.
