Bhaskar Rao's post on Gehraiyaan also received a mixed response from the netizens. There were some users who defended the movie. One Twitter user wrote, "You should watch the whole film it's really well made with a few twists at the end. Deepika's performance is amazing." A user further stated, "Looks like the one who's far from reality is you. The plot may have been a little embellished, but not by much. Incidents like this happen in real life as well, in some variation or another. Just bcoz it's not talked about (for obvious reasons), doesn't mean it doesn't happen."
However, a netizen also agreed with the former police commissioner's views on the same. The user said, "No your not Sir. Stars have responsibilities towards society and they should think before picking a role. I have watched this movie but reading reviews I don't want to waste a min on it. The fact is film directors should know where to draw the line of freedom of expression."
Talking about the movie, it also stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa in the lead roles. The movie has been helmed by Shakun Batra. It revolves around complicated relationships and infidelity.
