While she emphasized personal choice over religious advice, the act sparked debate on religious respect and digital content boundaries. Amid this, pictures of her with rumoured boyfriend Amin Jaz circulated, prompting mixed reactions including unfounded claims about his religion and concerns over her influence on youth.

The overall sentiment is mixed, combining criticism and controversy with neutral reporting.
