Masaba Gupta's Instagram story of the screenshot read as,

'But hat resonated with me the most on a personal level was the fact that Masaba had visible, deep acne scars in which she and the production team made no attempt to conceal.' 

The fan article further read as 'Maybe it's because I don't watch enough Tv, but I can say with absolute certainty that I've never seen a female-identifying protagonist of colour with acne scars on television in my entire 23 years of existence. More than that, I don't think I've ever seen a female protagonist of colour with acne scars as the center of varied and competing romantic attention by no means because she needs for validation, but because it's just part of her life'.
