Actress Dina settled this controversy during an interview with ET Bil Arabi, where she confirmed that the character of "Esh Esh" represents a third-rate dancer working at popular weddings, not a professional showgirl.

Dina explained that such characters exist in reality, with some girls forced to pursue dance as a profession due to their social circumstances, not out of love for the profession.
