Four More Shots Please makers recently announced the news of Season 3 of the series coming up soon. Four More Shots Season 2 was well-received by the fans, but it also faced a little backlash as it talked about many bizarre topics. Recently, Kirti Kulhari who plays the role of Anjana Menon in the show spoke about the backlash and how she feels about it.

In an interview with a leading daily, Kirti Kulhari said that Four More Shots Please brought her in direct contact with the ugly side of criticism. Talking about criticism, she said, people are judging the characters and calling the series a piece of fake feminism but it hasn’t disturbed her. She mentioned that while creating the show, they were aware that they will face a backlash as the show talks about several taboo subjects like sex scenes, women drinking alcohol, and making mistakes in their lives. Kirti Kulhari then added that apart from this, it depends on the mindset of an individual how he takes it.

Quoting an example of the show Fleabag, she said that the show has similar treatment as Four More Shots Please and it got its share of criticism, however, it was accepted in India. She wrapped up her conversation by saying that there is a bias towards international content and people feels it’s "cool" to applaud content from the West.
