She said, "This gentleman thinks he's the 'patriot of the year'. He decided to come and abuse my mother and me and got his trolls to do the same. We have received rape threats on a social platform."

She went on to say how she does not think this is about any of those things that the FIR has been lodged about anymore because the irony is, while talking about inappropriate sexual content, the person is actually making rape threats. She highlighted, how this only means that the said person is implying, "That means sex is bad but rape is okay."

Ekta revealed how it was not a big deal for her to issue an apology since respecting the army is something she does and it was a fictional character and the mistake has now been rectified.

She said how she will take the route of standing up to the cyberbullying and added how if they decided to put her nudes on the internet or call her names, they can do it to any girl.
