In a statement issued on her behalf after the police complaint, Sofia said: "If they don't recognise it is sacred, then they themselves do not recognise divinity. Go arrest Buddha! I am as sacred as him. More than being religion, Hindu and Islam are a way of living life. I know who I am and what I do. Religious sacred sentiments are personal.
"No one has the right to judge. Even I as the sacred mother, do not judge. Anybody who is trying to take away these sentiments and get hurt is only reflecting negative traits in themselves which is not belonging to a divine cause."

Sofia had shared a photograph of her feet with the swastika tattoo on Instagram earlier this week. As the symbol is considered sacred by the Hindu community, Sofia courted outrage over social media.
She later took a stand for herself and wrote: "May those with anger know that they only do the work of the devil in their anger. May those that say unkind words know that those words come from negative entities whether you call it an energy, the devil or anything else."
