Recently, Anurag Kashyap, in a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, was prompted to share his thoughts on the simmering controversy. Asked to weigh in on the motives behind Yashica's outcry, the filmmaker questioned the magnitude of the issue, deeming it worthy of a vigorous debate. He challenged the sincerity of her intentions, suggesting that her focus appeared to be on seeking validation rather than addressing the matter at hand. In Kashyap's view, Yashica's approach, which included directing her criticism at individuals who had previously been supportive, hinted at opportunism more than a genuine concern for the alleged wrong.

Labelling her actions as those of an opportunist, Kashyap asserted, "For me, it looks like an opportunist. Nothing more than that."
