People are jobless Its disgusting, but I report it During the interview, Jonita shared a particularly disturbing incident involving social media misuse. Recalling an incident of digital harassment, she said, On Instagram, you can check your mentions, right? So I was checking my mentions, and I had been added to someone's 'Close Friends' list. I was seeing their Instagram story, and it's a d*ck pic... It's a watermark of their thing with my photo in the background. It's disgusting.* The What Jhumka singer added that while she usually ignores such things, its still a form of harassment. I also report these things. I think they just want attention. People are jobless. I've blocked so many people because of these things, she said, expressing concern over the impact it may have on her family. People also tag you in such photos. I don't really care, but if my mom checks my profile and sees those things... I want to protect her from those.

There are people who just get on the stage and say that they want to join me in singing. Of course, that's annoying. It is really annoying. And I hit them back with a sarcastic response, but they are too drunk to understand, she revealed.
