During a conversation with a leading magazine, Bhatt said she was unfazed by the trolling. She stated, 'I think it's very easy to sit behind a keyboard and comment. But I know who I am and what I stand for. I don't let such things affect me.' The actress further added that she believes in focusing on her work and the love she receives from her fans.
