She recalled how Ranveer Singh was assuring her that nothing would happen. "When the mob runs after you, and I know the vehicle isn't going to go fast, then I started shivering. Ranveer, Padmaavat aayi hai, superstar baitha hai (Padmaavat had realeased, superstar is sitting)... Ranveer understood, he held my hand and asked, 'Amruta, are you ok? My bouncers are around. Don't worry. Nothing will happen'. He was pacifying me. Mob ki energy wild hoti hai (Mob's energy is wild), it's not always happy, it's very scary. Usme ek veheshiyat bhi hai (There is a savagery in it)." Gully Boy (2019) is a musical drama film directed by Zoya Akhtar.

In an interview with Zoom, the actor recalled one such incident and said, "There was a producer of a play. I was climbing some stairs, and maybe my top lifted slightly, I didn't even realise. I felt something - a hand near my waist. I turned around and he was a big producer. I just looked at him and said, 'What did you just do? What was that?' And he just brushed it off pretending as if nothing happened. I said, 'I felt it. What was that?' Everybody was stunned because he was such a big name.

Amruta mentioned that everybody else on the set was worried that she would lose work. However, the actor decided to standup against him because no one should have the audacity to touch her without her consent. In another incident, the actor described how she was tired of another senior, well known producer who would force her to drink with him every night. She avoided him for some time but one day, decided to confront the situation head on. "I banged the door open and entered. I knew people were watching. He was shocked. I looked into his eyes and said, 'Sir, you are my father's age. Why are you talking to me like this? What is your problem?' I said it calmly but directly looking into his eyes. He started getting awkward. Of course, I left the door open, not just for his sake, but for my safety too. After that, things settled down." Amruta will next be seen in Chidiya which also stars Vinay Pathak, Svar Kamble, Ayush Pathak, Brijendra Kala and Muzaffar Khan.
