Dr. Pragya Sharma is also known for using the word âcigaretteâ in her Shayari (poetry), which has led to allegations of promoting smoking. However, she refutes such claims and explains that poetry is an expression of emotions and feelings. Although the word âcigaretteâ is used extensively in her poetry, as a metaphor, she has not written about cigarettes as a theme. Furthermore, she argues that if readers did not think that Harivansh Rai Bachchan promoted alcohol through his famous work âMadhushalaâ, then there is no basis for absurd accusations regarding her poetry.

In the early stages of her career, Dr. Pragya Sharma used to recite her poetry in Tarannum, but later on, decided to discontinue this practice. During an interview, she was asked about her decision to discontinue her performances in Tarannum. Dr. Sharma explained that her biggest challenge when she stepped onto the stage was herself, as the stage environment was entirely new to her. She was committed to establishing herself in the place where she envisioned herself in the future, without any room for compromise. While initially, Dr. Sharma received a significant amount of applause and admiration from the audience during her Tarannum recitals, but she wasnât sure if it was for her presentation, voice, or writing. Instead of focusing on practising notes, she wanted to improve her writing skills. Therefore, she decided to stop reciting compositions in Tarannum.
