The post by Sreelekha, who is a supporter of Leftist ideology, has not gone down well with many. Actor and BJP member Rimjhim Mitra had challenged Sreelekha to reveal the identity of the actor.

Later on, Sreelekha wrote that she will soon release the name along with the evidence. To which, Rimjhim replied that if Sreelekha isn't able to come up with something substantial, her party will take legal action against her.
