Here are top six controversial things she said in her interview to IANS which indicate how she is unaffected by people's reaction to the daily soap.
1) While talking about the content of the show- if it's progressive or regressive, Tejaswi said, "I think it's really progressive. But again, a lot of people believe in judging a book by its cover... They love being judgmental and people have nothing better to do than judging somebody else's work. Then okay, what can I do?"
2) Being from the TV industry, even actor Karan Wahi couldn't refrain from commenting that the small screen has hit a new low with the show. Talking about the same, the Swaragini actress said, "I dont think so. I feel it's just a story and fiction. It's just a story that we are telling people. So how can you judge any story?
3) Tejaswi also drew a comparison between the show to the most popular American fantasy drama "Game of Thrones", created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. "It also happened in 'Game Of Thrones'... People love 'Game Of Thrones' and if same thing happens in 'Pehredaar Piya Ki', then it's an issue," she added.
4) The actress also clarified that the criticism of the show does not affect her. She takes it as her job. She added, "No, I'm an actor. I just get my script, go on the set and I perform. Honestly, I'm not on a lot of social sites to be aware of any such comments... I am only active on Instagram. Nobody calls and says anything to me. It's probably the creatives... They should talk to the creatives about the criticism."
