Posting the advertisement on her social media handle, Farah recalled how people judged her for being a choreographer in Bollywood, dressing in a certain manner and getting married late. Slamming all those people, who tried to pull her down, Farah wrote:

"As I am watching this film, I can't help but remember how many times I have been subjected to commentary that tried to bring me down in my journey as not only a successful choreographer and director but also as a woman..'You don't dress like a Choreographer. You're too young to be in this field. Women can't make action films. You're too old to get married. Too old to have kids." Guess what? Here I am and I DID IT. I chose not to give into what society had to say about me but put in the hard work to #RiseUpBaby! Love this narrative by @pepsiindia and @samantharuthprabhuoffl."
