She told DNA in an exclusive chat, ""I don't give any attention to it and the fact that journalists are giving attention to it also shows how used to we have become focusing on the negative. We never focus on the positive. How do you know where that (trend) is coming from or how manufactured it is? How do you know how organic it is?"
"I don't go by Twitter trends, I go by the whether a movie does well or not. That’s is why am saying audience is king because they decide whether they want to pay money and go watch a film in the theatre or not. No Twitter trend is going to change that," she said.
