A Fan asked about her NGO Save Shakti and what was the motive behind it. The address revealed that a TV channel head came to her house to speak about the show. After all the work-related talks, Varalaxmi stated “I sent off the person saying all the best and he said When shall we meet for 'other' things” The actress said "I did not understand the question and said I don’t understand sir is it about some other show and the man has replied we should meet for some other things in a hotel room directly”. The actress then said when she spoke about this incident with her friends they questioned her how did you remain silent and did not slap him, "because usually, I slap these people back", said the actress. “At that time what I thought was, I come from a family with backing (cinema background family) and this person has come to my house and if this man is asking this question to me then how would he have behaved with other women?" shared Varalaxmi, she asked the man to leave and the man replied I think you are in a bad mood I will come back later.
