Sunita expressed her frustration with how the Hindi film industry revolves around the same set of actors, leaving little to almost no room for new talents to showcase their skills; she said, "Aap sab ek hi group me hote ho. Wohi group me kaam hota hai. Bagar group ke aap ko koi puchega bhi nahi. Bahar bhi to dekho, aur bhi log baithe hai." ( You all belong to one group and distribute work among yourselves. Try giving opportunities to new faces as well). She also said that such actors could manage to serve in the industry only due to the group, or else no one would ask for them.
