Rakul Preet Singh’s appearance as Shurpanakha attracted plenty of attention. Some viewers praised the character, while meme makers immediately found ways to turn her look into jokes.
One social media user referred to her as a 'modern Shurpanakha'. Another joked about the resemblance between Rakul Preet Singh and television actor Ravi Dubey’s wife, Sargun Mehta.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that Surpanakha would seem better than other female characters in the Ramayana.

Some comments focused more directly on whether Shurpanakha’s styling fitted the period in which the story is set.
One viewer asked whether women in the Treta Yuga would really have worn such outfits, while another joked that the look appeared more suited to a modern-day production.
