She requested a ban on the program which was made available on an OTT platform on June 24.

Wamiqa Gabbi who plays Manu in the much-discussed show has spoken out about the entire incident in the days following its publication. As a result when it began I became a little concerned. Because everyone in Punjab is a little unsettled right now and because of what has been happening for a few months people are already quite vulnerable. They are all at a really vulnerable point right now so when it all started I immediately regretted having done the program from such a delicate position. I agreed to it because I was genuinely interested in being a part of the narrative and what it was trying to teach the audience She spoke.

The actress then said I was quite proud to be a part of the show Grahan which discusses doing the right thing as a Punjabi. And thus a misunderstanding developed leading to inaccurate discourse about the program. Oh my God I was just being patient and I am so pleased with this presentation. I couldn't wait for the show to air so that viewers could decide for themselves what they thought after watching it and that's exactly what occurred.

The same individuals who had previously voiced opposition to the show according to Gabbi contacted her on multiple occasions after it had been released. According to the actress she is happy that no one reacted in haste at the time and that everyone showed patience. After the show aired everyone realized that we all contributed to its creation and that we all wished to depict reality despite the fact that the show is fiction. However I am very pleased that we decided to depict the proper thing in the fiction she said.
