She had said in the past that she wasn’t supporting him, and has been really trolled after that.

I have been abused so much. I was asked in an interview about him, where I said that I used to like Rajat, but I don’t anymore

Recounting the horror she has been put through, she says, “I have been abused so much. I was asked in an interview about him, where I said that I used to like Rajat, but I don’t anymore. And I said that I don’t think he will win. I think he is using violence a bit too much.”

She adds, “His followers started to troll me and how. They abused me so much. You should see the way I have been abused. I have been told that I should die. I cannot even repeat those abuses. I never said anything wrong, I just gave my opinion. Then later, I was in another press conference, I was asked again. This time, I said that I give an open challenge that if he wins, I will leave acting and I will become a producer. But the last part of my quote was left out when my words were repeated.”

The actress says that it was not fair that she was abused for stating her mind. “I was abused so much just because I felt that he should not win. I was sure that no audience would support such violence on the show,” she says.
