"The number showcases the significance of taking a firm stand against online abuse, bullying and trolling. The hook line that goes, 'Aap kataar mein hain, krupaya agle janam tak prateeksha karen' is a slap to the trolls who feel that a woman's sensuality and boldness is open to harsh judgment and moral policing."

Though the controversy's child has rarely been inhibited, she claims to enjoy the freedom of expression that the art provides her. "Rap has been about empowering myself. I have always been a fan of hip-hop. Eminem has had a huge influence on me."
