Controversies
- In 2016, she had a wardrobe malfunction while performing at the Aankhen 2 event. After the embarrassing incident, she said, “I definitely didn’t want my debut to unfold in this way. It was a terrible mishap. I got off the stage with an ‘Oh my God! What just happened!’ The entire team was extremely supportive and I told myself, ‘It’s okay’, and have moved on.”
- In July 2018, her name surfaced in a U. S. Sex Racket. Soon after, she cleared the air and said, “I am not involved in Tollywood Sex racket which was busted recently in Chicago. It is not correct to speak about anyone without knowing the truth. When I know that these are false allegations, why will I react to them? If we react unnecessarily, we can fall in trouble. The media should be very careful about reporting such type of news.”
