Her statement went viral and the Maulana was criticized over social media about his remarks. Faye was lauded for keeping her calm and composure. • During her debate on the Padmavati debate, she lashed out on Ajith Singh of the Karni Sena. Ajith had remarked that the Karni Sena will not let anyone watch the film Padmavati. To this statement, Faye replied- "Who the fuck are you? Aapse seekhne ki kisi ko zarurat nahi hai. Aapki aukaat hi kya hai kuch sikhane ki?" • On 4 March 2018, she retweeted the cover photo of Grihlakshmi Magazine. The cover had a woman breastfeeding her child and the taboos involved along with it.
