She started off the video speaking about how a few people wish death on certain people because of differences. She shed light on jumping on the bandwagon to criticize, mock and bully people just because of their different way of expressing things.
She spoke at length about depression, loss of hope, and the desire to live. She said that if a person like Dr. Aamir Liaquat, with commendable willpower, could succumb to immense pressure and sorrow, nobody is safe in this country.
Delving into his case a little more, she gave the reference to her drama serial Aisi Hai Tanhai, which highlighted the privacy breach in relationships. She went on to say that the drama, however, threw light on illicit relationships.

She asked her Instagram followers to condemn, discourage, report, and block the content and people involved in leaking private imagery. She asks some thought-provoking questions like, “Are we waiting for another death?” and “Will we let our kids grow in this society?”

She requests the authorities to make strict cyber crime laws and give exemplary punishments to the perpetrators involved in leaking and sharing private imagery.
