Actress Aditi Balan questioned why such a character was written in the first place and felt that the role should have been given meaningful importance and better writing. Aditi’s criticism is not aimed at Janhvi Kapoor’s performance but at the writing and purpose of the character.

As Aditi Balan herself has been associated with performance-oriented films and strong female characters Her observation once again raises the larger question about how much importance female characters receive in big-budget commercial films.
