The actor, who was detained by Mumbai Police on July 22 while attempting to participate in the demonstration, said she would not compromise her principles even if it affected her career. She shared her response after a troll commented that there would be "no work" for her in the film industry because of her involvement in the protest. Ayesha had arrived at the protest venue along with her brother and friends to show support for students raising their concerns.

However, she was detained by police before she could take part in the demonstration. Following the incident, the actor shared details of her experience and spoke about her decision to stand with the protesters. Responding to the online criticism, Ayesha wrote that she would rather lose professional opportunities than compromise her values. "Rather lose my career than spine," she said in her reply to the user who attempted to intimidate her with claims about her future in Bollywood.

The demonstrations attracted participation from several individuals, including public figures who expressed solidarity with the protesters.
