Speaking at the event, Upasana highlighted Ranveer Singh’s importance to Bollywood, especially at a time when many films have struggled at the box office. She credited the actor’s recent successes for bringing positive momentum to the industry.

She said, “Ranveer Singh aise actor hai jisne industry ko khada kar diya hai. Kitni filmein flop hui hai aur humari industry kis halaton se guzar rahi hai, aur unki Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2 ne jo business kiya hai, unhone history bana diya hai. Aise actors ki bohot zarurat hai, jinki filmein log like karein...”

In a separate conversation with IANS, Upasana said she did not believe anyone was deliberately trying to harm Ranveer’s career. She stated, “It does not seem that there was any pressure because, first of all, these people are not the kind who would want anything bad to happen to Ranveer Singh. Sometimes we make wrong decisions and then we change after realising it. This is good.”
