Mallika has been quite vocal slamming the trolls targetting the late actor's family. A few days back, when trolls had questioned the relationship of Sushant and his father, to claiming the actor's sisters didn't show 'appropriate grief' after his death. Mallika slammed the trolls by commenting on a post by the late actor's sister Meetu Singh where the latter talked about the demise of her brother and how she is unable to say goodbye even now.
Shutting down the trolls who attacked Meetu, Mallika wrote: "Clearing out some of the misunderstandings about my masi: 1. If you study up on psychology (I'm minoring in psychology at university) you'd know of a thing called "emotional numbing" by shock. You can stop feeling emotions temporarily after trauma. She compulsively refused to believe it had happened. She was the first one to hear the news from our family, she was the main shock absorber. [sic]"
Talking about the bond between the siblings, she added, "3. She was the one taught my mamu how to ride a motorbike and play cricket when he was young. My Meetu masi has nerves of steel. She is the strongest of all the siblings. At the time, we didn't know what was going on, we trusted the authorities to know what to do, just like any person in a democracy would. She was checking up on her daughter on the phone, because my little cousin wouldn't stop crying, she was trying to sound strong for her sake, for all of our sake. She's the kind of person who'd always worry about other people and completely neglect her own feelings. The reason she was adjusting her hair was because it was falling on her eyes, and the flashes of cameras were bothering her. We aren't used to media attention. [sic]"
