“Oh my god. That is another controversy. I mean the kind of backlash that I have had just for this title is unbelievable. I have to tell you this: for the past five or six years, I think, I have been telling all my producers, all my directors, and all the films I am doing; I literally beg them to not put that title card. Because I am so scared. My career is not defined by that title tag," she said.
