In a similar incident in 2021, another Bhojpuri actor Trisha Kar Madhu was targeted on the internet for a leaked video of her. The actor condemned the act and urged people to respect her privacy. Talking about the unfortunate event, Madhu said that she was distressed and in disbelief and some people would leak a private video of her on the internet. She also said, "if your sister gets married and the next day, someone leaks her first-night video, it will be good right?"

The act of posting a woman's private moments on social media is shameful enough. What makes the situation even more problematic when social media users share such videos and publicly violate a woman. The laws on cyberbullying are in place and one would expect that with the progressing times, individuals would be much more respectful towards women and their vulnerabilities. And yet, such incidents keep happening one after the other.
