Agnihotri replied, in a reference to the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault, Where is the placard - #MeTooProstituteNun? Bhasker called out the director for using the trauma of women who are rape survivors to slut shame and abuse in public a woman you don’t like.

She also notified Twitter authorities against the abusive post and the microblogging site acknowledged her complaint through a message.

Bhasker thanked Twitter and urged people not to allow bullies to shame them.
