We tend to fixate on the negatives but there are so many positives that have also come along."

Despite the backlash, Sharmin expressed gratitude for the audience's support and feedback, noting, "The audience’s opinion is what will probably help you be the best version of yourself." Her comments shed light on navigating the challenges of public scrutiny in the entertainment industry while striving to maintain a positive outlook amidst criticism.
