Reacting to the subject, Bipasha wrote in the comment section, “Thank you for your clear words... Hope the human race does not remain so shallow and so low forever… and they encourage and applaud women for the million roles they play each day.”

She further added, “I am a super confident woman with a very evolved loving partner and family. Memes and trolls do not define me ever… nor did they make me who I am. But these are deeply disturbing reflections of the society towards women. Another woman in my place could be deeply affected and scarred with the viciousness”.

“Anyways if we have more strong voices and atleast women understanding and applauding women for who they are then women will rise higher and higher :) We are unstoppable ladies,” Bipasha concluded.
