However, as soon as a video claiming that Zaira was forced to exit from Bollywood and she was pressurised to take this decision surfaced online, Raveena had a change of thought. She, in fact, was saddened to imaging the teenager's state of mind. The actress tweeted saying, "If this is true and the reason for her to quit, if she was or is under pressure, then I do feel sad for the girl. Was she forced into writing the long statement by radicals out of fear? She was a role model to so many youngsters with dreams and inspirations that they could achieve.
