Taapsee gave a savage reply to all those who trolled her on social media. She wrote, "Heartfelt thank you From yours Truly. But there are many women who actually hear this daily for no fault of theirs. An ode to all the athletes who give their sweat and blood to the sport and their nation and still get to hear this. #RashmiRocket #AbUdneKaTimeAaGayaHai4"

Speaking about the online bullying she had to face, Taapsee said, "Who defines what's feminine and what is not? Is it just about your muscular build that you will be judged on who is a female and who is not? Do you realize that there are some hormonal imbalances that are there in certain females by default, it is not their choice? It might be a result of that they end up having the kind of physique that they have."

The trailer of ‘Rashmi Rocket' is an inspiring narrative of its lead protagonist and her journey. The plot revolves around gender testing on female athletes and how she faces discrimination for not being conventionally feminine.
