Reflecting on the influence of leading male actors in casting choices, Raghwani stated, "Dinesh ji ke saamne kiski chalegi... aaj tak hero ke saamne kisi ki chali hai kya?" ("Who could stand up against Dinesh ji? Has anyone ever had a say in front of a male lead?")
Questioning the industry's backing of certain performers, she added, "Woh Dinesh ji ke saath chal rahi thi… main akeli chal rahi thi. Mere paas koi politician, neta ya star nahi tha... unko protect karne ke liye Dinesh ji the, mujhe protect karne wala koi bhi nahi." ("She was walking alongside Dinesh ji... I was walking alone. I had no politician or star standing by me. Dinesh ji was there to protect her, but there was no one to protect me.")
Addressing these allegations during a video segment on the show, Aamrapali Dubey pointed out Raghwani’s past extensive work with actor Khesari Lal Yadav, saying, "Tum bhi toh Khesari ji ke saath itna kaam karti thi... kisi ne tumhare liye aisa kaha kya?" ("You also used to work so much with Khesari ji... did anyone say such things about you?")

("Her allegation is that she gets removed from films... so the response to that is, you get what you deserve.")
