Before she was tested for the virus, Kanika attended high profile parties putting numerous guests at risk. She had also hidden her travel history from authorities which got her booked for negligence.

Celebrities and public alike questioned her actions, for not taking responsibility and self-quarantining. She also stirred new controversies when she alleged that the hospital she was in was not taking good care of her. The hospital in response to her accusations sent a strongly-worded message about not behaving like a star and that there had been no compromise in her care. Ever since her diagnosis, the singer has been attracting heavy criticism for her actions and behaviour.
