One user commented, “I’m sorry she has nooooo manners whatttttt so ever. Shes representing India unfortunately, and behaving like that isn’t getting anyone anywhere,” while another said, “It’s called basic courtesy! Clearly she doesn’t have it ! Stepping aside and saying please pass through isn’t going to kill anyone,” and “Why do we lack etiquette 😭 Indians do, but why 😭 even I want to know.” Fans were not happy with this behaviour and questioned her for ruining the reputation of Indians abroad.
