Followers were quick to comment as they drew comparisons with Adipurush. One follower wrote, “Ma’am aapki yeh ek reel …. Puri Adipurush film per bhari pade gi”. Another fan commented, “A true Sita Mata’s face for all of us Indians. Jai shree Ram.” Another fan wrote, “No one can replace you as Seeta ji role”,

Actor Sunil Lahri, who played the role of Laxman in Ramanand Sagar’s television series,  reacted to Adipurush makers’ decision to change the dialogues in the film for sake of the audience. In an interview with ABP, the senior actor said that the makers should have thought about audience while writing the dialogues originally.

The statement released by T-Series Films read, “There’s nothing beyond sentiments of audiences and harmony. Team Adipurush in respect of public opinion, revamps dialogues for unifying film experience.”

Reacting to this, Sunil said, “The decision to remove dialogues that may cause harm to sensitive individuals is a good and positive step. It should have been taken by the filmmakers while making the film itself. Now, it doesn’t make much sense to discuss the circumstances and pressures under which these dialogues were written. However, it can be said that this is a welcome move. Manoj Muntashir is a very sensible person, and I have listened to several of his videos and audios. Initially, I couldn’t believe that he would write such dialogues. Whatever the situation and pressure may have been, trying to rectify and compensate for the mistake is a commendable step on their part.”
