During the event in Mumbai, she admitted her Hindi skills were not strong, leading to criticism from some users on social media who questioned her casting as Sita in the upcoming 'Ramayana' directed by Nitesh Tiwari. Critics pointed out that an actor in such a high-profile project should have better command of the language.
