Her statement came in response to Yadav's derogatory comments, which targeted her Northeastern heritage and mocked her accomplishments. The actress drew a clear distinction between humor and hate, asserting that disrespecting someone's identity and hard work is never acceptable.

"Disrespecting someone's identity & name is not 'fun.' Mocking someone's achievements is not 'banter.' It's time we draw the line between humor and hate. What's even more disappointing is that this wasn't just about my ethnicity-my hard work and a film backed by a visionary like Sanjay Leela Bhansali were also disrespected," Chum wrote.

"To my fellow Northeasterners and everyone who has faced racism-I see you, I hear you, and I stand with you. We all deserve respect, dignity, and equality. Let's raise our voices against racism and promote a culture of empathy, kindness, and understanding. #NoRoomForRacism #NotOkayWithRacism," she added.
