Responding to the criticism over her facial hair, Nigam had said, “When the UP results were announced, my picture went viral; many people trolled me. At the same time, there were those who supported me. I want to thank everyone.”

“However, God has made me, I am okay with it. For those who feel there is a difference, it doesn’t matter. Even Chanakya was trolled, and he did not care. Similarly, I also don’t care and will focus on my studies,” she added.

In a special interview with BBC, Nigam reflected on the attention she received, saying, “If I had a few fewer marks, I would not have topped and got famous. Maybe that would have been better. I don’t care much about the situation because I have been facing this for a long time. People see girls with hair and feel weird about it because they have not seen this before.”
