In an interview with Hindustan Times, Vahbiz opened up about the morphing incident and why she felt it had crossed all the lines. Calling it unethical, Vahbiz said, "It is not the case that grapes are sour. Waajan ki toh baat hi nahi hai, kaunsi mein phele badi patli thi. I have been curvy, and my pictures show that. What has angered me is that it is completely unethical. You are morphing someone’s picture just to get your freaking likes and views. I have always been on the healthy side and embraced it. I’m very comfortable in my skin, and that has always been my USP."
Vahbiz further stated that the whole episode was about harassment and bullying and continued, "I have paid a price in the past and I’m not interested in paying a price in the future either. Initially, I was very naive. I didn’t know what to do about it. But now, I’m going to voice it out." Vahbiz also stated that bad things were written about her in the past, which had been quite disturbing for her. She also added that although the link was pulled down after her post, she didn't receive any apologies from the channel.

However, a media portal edited the picture to show that Vahbiz has gained massive weight. Sharing the edited picture, Vahbiz had lashed out at the portal and had written, "Spot the difference!!! This is the reason a certain section of the media is losing respect in our eyes. Last night I was at a birthday party and this is what a certain portal has done with my media bytes. The above pic has been clearly edited just to get a certain amount of views.”
Vahbiz had called it a shameful act and had added, “What a shameful act by #Tvmasala. Not gonna take this lying down. Defaming and Body shaming someone for views and likes will not be tolerated. I urge all the artists to put a stop to this shallow so-called journalism and be vocal about it. Enough is enough. SHAME ON TV MASALA." Soon, her friends from the industry had come out in her support, slamming the news portal for their disgusting act.
