Honestly, a bit dramatic. She just got married a few years ago and is at the peak of her career. "Not sure if I'll be back"? Feels like a publicity stunt before a new album or show. Hope I'm wrong, but that's how it looks.

The paparazzi culture in Mumbai is toxic. They never leave anyone alone. Good on her for calling them out directly. Fans should also understand that celebrities are humans who need space.

Her journey from Indian Idol contestant to a YouTube Diamond award winner is incredible. The grind must be relentless. Taking a step back is sometimes necessary to come back stronger. All the best to her!

Hope everything is okay with her and Rohanpreet. Mentioning "relationships" specifically is worrying. Marriage in the public eye is tough. Sending love and strength to both of them. ❤️

She has given us so many hit party songs! "London Thumakda" is a wedding staple. She deserves a break. But I do hope she comes back—the industry needs her energy.

Respect her decision, but the way it's announced is vague and creates more speculation. A little more clarity
