Vidya secretly recorded her next committee interview. The very next day, Vidya was selected for the same committee for which she had recorded the interview. Relieved, she decided not to post anything on Why MBA. However, a few days later, a post went viral on Why MBA about BKSM, accusing the student committees of unfair practices, claiming that seniors selected juniors based on personal preferences rather than objective criteria. The post created a stir in BKSM, making Vidya anxious. Vidya's anxiety stemmed from the fact that Anjali, her confidant, knew about Vidya's intent to publish her interview transcript on Why MBA. Hence, Vidya feared that Anjali might assume that she was behind the viral post. Worse still, if Anjali shared Vidya's earlier intent with anyone at BKSM, her reputation and relationships could be damaged. What BEST can Vidya do in the current situation so that she is NOT negatively impacted by the viral post?
