In a chat with Indian Express, Bhavana was asked how difficult it is, as a mother, to see her child being scrutinized for everything, from movies to fashion. She replied that it is very difficult and makes her feel really "bad and hurt."

However, she acknowledged that her child has chosen to put themselves out there for judgment, and it is okay to be judged. Bhavana emphasized that while "unnecessary criticism is not okay," constructive comments are always better as they help everyone improve.
