Commented on the post, an NGO called Animal Hope and Wellness wrote, “That wasn’t funny, it was disgusting. I guess it amusing was to you and the people around you, but not to many of us. You showed your “true colors” and so don’t pretend now to be someone you’re not. Make sure you’re not around any animals from now on; they will be much better off.”

The influencer enjoys a huge fan following of 1,21,000 followers on Instagram. She posted another video to issue an apology. In the video, she can be seen feeding biscuits to stay dogs and reiterates that she is an animal lover and has been doing good deeds all her life, and people should forgive her for making that “one mistake.”

The video shows her drinking water for stray dogs and helping specially-abled individuals.
