Ektaa Kapoor, speaking to Variety, expressed her disappointment with the commercial response, stating, “It has left a very peculiar ache in my heart because of the way that film was received in India compared to its reception overseas. I don’t understand what went wrong.” She also recalled the social media backlash they faced, saying, “And the inundation of hate we experienced – our social media feeds were inundated with negativity because we dared to explore and create a film on female sexuality. I can only anticipate what awaits us with LSD 2. I might have to go into hiding again.”
