The wedding scene turned controversial, and many blamed Sandeep for justifying marital rape. In an interview with Zoom, Mansi defended the scene and said:

“It is shocking, of course. Nobody expects their wedding to end that way. When the wedding sequence starts, if you see the lights, the way the art was done, it was beautiful. You hear the music, that has gone so viral on Instagram. It was heading towards a beautiful end, and suddenly, you see something like this happening. It was to tell the audience that an animal is coming; if you thought Ranbir (Ranbir Kapoor) was this way, you can expect the villain to be (worse).”

Mansi also revealed that the scene was not put to show assault, and the intention was not to hurt anyone. In her words:

“It was an apt way to establish Bobby sir’s character and to show the audience what real animal we’re talking about. It was not the intent to show that any sort of assault was happening. It was just that Bobby sir did not expect his brother’s death news to come on the wedding, which puts the character into a zone where he couldn’t think straight. And that’s what we’re talking about, right? Animal instincts are unpredictable instincts.”
