While people had agreed with the latter part of her tweet, they had also trolled her for being ignorant towards the ground reality. Now, Kangana has cleared her take on why she said what she said and in a series of tweet, told a story of how her mom adopted a Dalit woman, who grew up with them in their home.

Kangana also gave a brief account of how Raju di would stay with them, eat with them and share the same bedroom as her sister, Rangoli. Her tweet can be read as "Clarifying few things which whole village is aware of, these facts can be investigated n people can be interviewed. 1) Rajudi lived in our house like our sister. 2) She helped mom in the kitchen initially Amma made a big deal out of it eventually Raju di served food to all. 3) Few relatives condemned mom's actions but noone dared say anything in front of Raju di. 4) I don't call Rangoli didi but papa made sure we call Rajudi didi 5) Rangs and Raju di shared bedroom,where I wasn't allowed because of my age and girl talk. This is the India I know."
Concluding her tweet thread with a picture of her with Raju di's mom, Kangana wrote, "Rajudi's mom... Mansa mausi with me in my ancestral house, she is like a mother to me and all the children of the house, this is what our parents taught us, I want to encourage this India not the brutal orthodox sadistic India which people glorify for their political gains."
