The revelation shocked not just the contestant but also the fellow judges too. Further in her statement, Namita Thapar also suggested and asked the entrepreneur to reveal the reason behind making clothes for all sizes instead of focusing just on the plus sizes. She said:
"Sach much India mein jo ye body shaming jise kehte hain, jo yeh ‘moti, moti’ bulate hain, uski target main bhi ban chuki hoon. Aapne aesa kyun nahi socha ki mein only plus size ke liye fashion banati hoon, na ki sab sizes ke liye."
In response to Namita Thapar’s question, the entrepreneur explained how they don’t want to make plus-size people feel indifferent to others in any sense. The pitcher continued that they don’t want to outcast plus-size people like other brands by making separate size charts or collections directed especially for them. The entrepreneur of the clothing brand said:
"The biggest problem in the plus size industry is that plus size people are treated like an outcaste. We want them to feel included by not having a separate size chart or collection for them. They are a part of our entire range of collections."
