Another wrote, "Why so much attitude?"
Someone even described Hema Malini as "Jaya Bachchan's copy."

Some fans came out in support of Hema Malini and her right to privacy.
One person remarked, "Madam, there are some etiquettes we need to keep in mind before taking videos and photos. Ask or request the other person if they are comfortable with taking a picture with you."
Actress Sunita Rajwar also supported Hema Malini, writing, "Why do people want to get clicked like this with no respect or response? An actor is a human being like you; don't do this to yourself."
