In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshith, Moushumi shared that people often underestimated her resilience. 'People used to get angry because I was never bothered so much. They used to be like, chalo time mila toh isko cheddte hain, so I used to give it back,' she said.
'He thought it was fun, but I gave it back'
She added, 'He thought that is fun. A lot of people who pass nasty remarks don't realise that they are actually showing what they are.
You come from that surrounding. Nobody thought I can give it back. I was always like that. I never cared if you are a superhero or super heroine or anything like that.'
