She proceeded by saying she avoided gatherings and award ceremonies. Then she continued, "Our industry is too superficial." The actress said that it also bothered her that people had turned this industry into a "circus". It cannot be so surreal, she said. She added that she is bothered by it and that it does exist.

In an interview with SheThePeople for Small Screen Fest, Kumra talked about how big stars are making their debuts on OTT. She claimed that she is currently being offered the second lead, which she declines to accept because she already owns this place. She continued by saying that because she has worked so hard in this field, she doesn't see herself playing the second lead simply because a star is seeking to make their acting debut. However, she also added that she thought the major actors were no longer constrained and had more freedom to do new things with their performances.
