Tagging the producer, Mohit Banwait, Ankita lashed out at her emotions. In the first IG story, she shared a scene from the film, which was copied from her reel. Atop it, she wrote:

"What the hell? Copied my reel in a movie? Like really?"

"I mean I really don't know iska writer kon chorr, but director ke baare mein mai ne padha and I am going to tag him. And please guys tell him to give me the due credit and whatever as this is not done, ap as it is meri reel toh nai daal sakte na. Bhai kuch toh creative karo life mein. What the hell."

In another story, she penned a note calling out the producer, who is also a writer, for copying her entire reel for their film, without her permission, credits or money.

Mohit Banwait immediately responded to Ankita's claims and stated that he had texted her but hadn't received an answer. He further added that he took inspiration from her reel, and it is not called copying. Mohit stated that his film was a typical 'saas-bahu' drama and he had just adapted the style. However, he further claimed that the content shared on social media is not 'exclusive' and no one has the right to it

Sharing his message screenshot, Ankita stated that there was a difference between making a reel on someone's audio and copying someone's intellectual property.
