Dhupia also made sure to share her joy on clocking 10 million views and thanked her fans for sharing their love.

In the caption, she wrote, “Womanhood. We celebrate you. We salute you today and everyday. Thank you for the love for Devi. 10 million views and counting. Kajol and our Devi’s, you are all.”

Besides Kajol and Dhupia, Haasan also took to social media to express her gratitude to her fans. Sharing her proud moment, in a long Instagram post, she wrote, “Devi touches 10 million views! So happy and proud to be a part of something so powerful and unique in its rendition.”

“Most importantly I’m beyond thankful that it has reached so many people and touched upon their conscience. A big Thank You to all the incredible women in this picture, our director Priyanka Banerjee but the biggest thank you to Ryan Ivan Stephen and Ashes In Wind, for making this and then making me a part of it!”

In the same caption, she added, “It’s nice to see two people who take action and move forward. Everyone sits around the table with opinions and interjections but very few actually take it that extra step toward being a part of the narrative change. Very very proud of both you darlings.”
