Mallika Nayak responds to comments involving Sunita Ahuja after Komal Rani makes a “cunning” jibe. In her reaction, Mallika addresses Sunita as her “dearest friend,” and describes her as a “warrior,” saying she has stood strong through difficult phases.

The reports frame the exchange as part of an ongoing public back-and-forth among the participants. While the triggering remark is attributed to Komal Rani, Mallika’s focus is on defending Sunita’s character and resilience rather than engaging directly with the accusation. Other outlets’ coverage in this set centers on Mallika’s praise and the interpersonal tone of the response, rather than providing additional details of the original comment or broader context beyond the remarks themselves.
