The actress shared a video on social media in which she explained, “First of all, I shot this song in Kannada three years ago. I agreed to do it because it was part of a big film and featured the iconic Sanjay Dutt. I trusted the filmmakers on set, so I went ahead with it. When I shot the song, I had no idea it was so vulgar. But when I heard the Hindi version, I realised it was extremely inappropriate.”
