Taking to social media, Ayesha commented on an Instagram post and wrote, "The unnecessary hate this woman gets is insane, she breathes and people have a problem, she is THE ALIA BHATT! A phenomenal actor, the same person who was Vaidehi in Badrinath ki dulhania and also sehmat in Raazi, She is a mother, an actor, an entrepreneur, is creatively involved in her own production house and what not!"
She added, "She has given us so many incredible performances, and here people of our own country want to drag their representation just because a few media people couldn't recognise her? And how does that even matter? She is there to represent us not them! We can definitely do better!"
