Actor Kangana Rananut, who was one of the judges in that show, came in support of Shruti. Kangana asked Shruti to enhance her craft and not to focus on such comments. The actor said, “Jo apki sadgi hai aur jo apki personality hai apko kisi ke liye change nahi karni hai. Apko bas apni kala ko badhana hai aur skill ko badhana hai aur aap jaisi hain bahot aachi hain.”
Shruti Sharma’s transition from television to the digital platform has been remarkable. Despite encountering challenges and criticisms, she demonstrated resilience, refining her skills and landing a role in Heeramandi.
