Vidya shared that this incident made her really upset, and she told the lady not to comment on her body as she didn't like it. Sharing more details about the same, the actress mentioned:
"I was getting a body massage done. And this woman tells me, ‘Arey phir se weight put on kar liya kya? Firstly, it’s a very intimate space. I trusted the masseuse to get my body massage done. I’m not here for her to sit and judge my body. I am here so that she can actually calm my nerves, like make me feel better. I said, ‘Mere body ke baare mein comment mat keejiye, mujhe achha nahi lagta."
The actress also mentioned how she was affected by such an incident. Vidya shared that after that incident took place, she met her hubby and burst into tears.

Sharing how exhausting the incident was, Vidya stated:
"When I saw Sidharth, I actually cried for a bit. I was like, ‘Why do people have to do this? Why did she have to say this to me? It’s insensitive. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. Because I’ve had a very hectic week, I was exhausted. I was looking forward to this message. And within the first 10 minutes, this happened. Then I just couldn’t relax. And therefore, when I came out and met Siddharth, I think that pent-up, whatever, just came out.”
