After fans noticed Yami Gautam’s like on the post, the actress shared a statement on Thursday night. However, she did not name Kriti in her post.
Explaining that celebrities get tagged in multiple posts every day and that the like may have happened unintentionally.
She wrote: "It has come to my notice that I apparently ‘liked’ a reel that is condescending toward another actor. We get tagged in multiple things every day, and this appeared during an award function reference like any other tag. It isn’t true and was definitely not done consciously; if anything, it may have been clicked accidentally."

Saying that she has never been part of "cheap PR tactics." the actress added, “Never in my life have I resorted to cheap PR tactics. I have always focused on my work and moved on. In the world of clickbait, it’s tempting for even dignified social media portals to harp on this and turn it into coffee-table gossip. But I would hope they would consider that I have earned a better reputation than that.”
