Girija Oak Reacts To The Internet Fame:

As the clip spread across platforms, Girija revealed that her phone hasn’t stopped buzzing. “I am amused! I was in rehearsals for my play and couldn't take calls,” she told Hindustan Times.

However, not all the attention was pleasant. Girija shared that some social media pages had “sexualised” her viral moment. “Suddenly, all my friends were messaging me, 'Do you know what's happening on X?' One sent me a post debating if it was (actor) Priya Bapat or me. Then my devar told me some cheap handles picked up my pictures and there was a whole 'bhabhi lover' scene happening. Some pages sexualised me. But Marathi fans said, 'You've only just discovered her! We've known her for years',” she said.
