Surbhi's caption reads as, "This Women’s Day is dedicated to the WOMEN of my Industry - leaving families behind to earn a living, having erratic work schedules , at times work in sphere not favouring you, be in the element 24/7 ,drop off the baggage of emotions as soon as the feet touch the workplace , stay fit , look pretty (and so some are forced to go under the Knife )to avoid hearing criticism since you know ‘JUDGING someone ‘ just comes so naturally to us Humans, constantly have the fear of being disgraced at any given point, the fear what if you raise your voice and stand up for what is right for you, fear of not being respected that one deserves.

A while back, in an interview with a leading television portal, Surbhi got candid about her character in Ishqbaaaz, Anika. Surbhi revealed, "I feel Anika is the biggest example of Nayi Soch because I don't see a character like Anika on Indian Television; someone who stands up for herself and who is as blunt as her. When a girl can actually fight with someone as novel and as grand as Shivaay Singh Oberoi and can fight for her brother or her family, or anybody for that matter."

"I don't think people can gather that kind of courage but they should take inspiration from Anika. She does not wear clothes like a typical bahu, until and unless it is a requirement for the show," Surbhi added.
