Actress Simran Rishi Bagga apparently criticised Jyotika over her role in 'Dabba Cartel'. An actor apparently texted Simran and shamed her for playing an "aunty role" in a film. Responding to the text at an award show, Simran said, "I felt it's better to do aunty role...and main aunty roles...and mother roles...rather than playing dabba roles and doing nothing."
