However, the authorities were unimpressed by her actions, and a case was filed against her. After all the controversy, Shreya had apologised to the public for her action, but the trolls kept on showering hateful comments on her, and now in an interview, Shreya has talked about the traumatic phase.

This was the first time it was happening to me and I really got scared. I was getting calls. My mom was also very stressed. People said, 'She should go to jail for this.' I kept thinking that they just can't differentiate between a crime and mischief. I just spoke to my dad and he said everything will be fine as I was so stressed out."

The ex-Roadies contestant said, "I posted another video, on the same song and my message was to let me move on. The thing that I did, please don't do it. I gave the statement that I wasn't influencing anyone to follow the same thing. But even then people were hating me. I was getting gaalis (abuses), hate comments and threats. I thought to myself that if I don't move on, people will keep pulling me down. I started posting normal stuff, so that people just forget."

She explained, "My mom was quite stressed out, and my dad has been very supportive. He has seen a lot so he knows how things work. However, ghar ka mahaul thoda garam ho jata hai. I just shifted back to Mumbai. When I was in Indore, people kept asking about me. They need gossip."
