- In November 2022, Kaushiki talked about her weight journey in an interview she revealed that she lost 15 Kgs in 3 months and also said that as a kid she had an unhealthy relationship with food and used to overeat often and said,
I used to over eat in childhood. So my mom would keep telling me that and I remembered it. I followed many celebrity interviews as well and did some research by myself. In real life, I never had any problem looking wise but on camera the weight looks 7 times more. I will narrate one incident in regard to this. Back then, I felt the pressure after seeing myself. I was looking very bad. Under pressure, for 2 days I didn’t eat anything. I just had juice and a few fruits. I felt so sick and unwell. I want to tell everybody that there’s no easy way to lose weight. There’s no shortcut. Keeping my mom’s words in mind, I prepared a diet chart with meals every 2 hrs. I didn’t over eat.

- In an interview, she talked about the earlier days of her career in the TV industry, when she became a victim of the casting couch. She said,
The industry has changed so much but the one thing that hasn’t changed is asking for favours in return for work. The incident happened with me when I had started giving auditions and chanced upon an opportunity in the South project.All the things got finalised but when they handed over the contract to me they added some of their conditions and asked me to compromise. I was bewildered as I had only heard about such incidents, but when it happened to me it shook the ground beneath me. I declined their offer but their words affected my mental state “
- After the eviction of Ankit Gupta from Bigg Boss 16, Kaushiki took a dig at the makers of the show and said,
I saw him among the top 5 contestants but with his eviction, the bigg boss has again proved that you need to unnecessarily fight or argue to be in the game. It is a really a great shame that a person like Ankit who remained calm even in the toughest time was evicted by the housemates. I don’t know why bigg boss put this decision in the hands of housemates and why didn’t he let the audience decide who should remain in the game? If the makers and housemates want to decide everything, then why are the audience involved in this show? According to me, the best person who deserved to be in the game has been evicted and this is the most unfair decision ever.”
