I am actually opposing the culture a lot and I don’t want to push it even further. This is my decision along with my family's. Even right now at times they are not okay with me dressing in a certain way and want me to dress up differently. But I have been a little rebellious and don’t want to hurt their sentiments further. They are very understanding and supportive. But I don’t want to wear a bikini, show cleavage and all. That’s my decision and not any conflict."

Tanya Sharma, who is currently seen in Sasural Simar Ka 2, has rejected several web shows because it demanded her to do bold scenes. In an interview with ETimes TV, the actress said, "I am losing out on a lot of projects because of the requirement of intimate and bold scenes. I understand that when the makers write a story they have a mindset and a concept. Whenever I am approached for a role, I get pressurized when they give examples of other actors. But I have set a boundary for myself, and maybe I am not ready to cross that boundary yet. I am not comfortable doing any intimate scenes right now. So, I do not take up such roles."
