The actress added that she was "stunned" on hearing what she was told and added, "Jab unhone mujhse yeh kaha (When she said this to me), I was so stunned that she had the gall to say something like that to me because it's none of her business and I came out feeling like 'what just happened'." The actress recalled that she told herself that talking about clothes is very easy. "And then I thought to myself, 'Kapdo ke baare mein baat karna bohot aasaan hai, actor agar ho toh thodi si acting bhi kar lo (It is easy to talk about clothes, but if you are an actor, then at least act a little)," Vidya recalled during the interview.
