Her views about fashion have been quoted in the media. For example, she believes that fashion should be ethical and sustainable and not just for elites but for the masses, that the general public should take fashion more seriously, and that the fashion industry should be more active towards influencing future styles rather than merely reporting what people have been wearing.

In 2011, she criticised a decision by Vogue magazine to employ fashion models younger than eighteen years old. She interviewed Paris Hilton and described her as "down-to-earth" and noted that Hilton loves Indian fashion designers. In 2017, Haridas was quoted in the bestseller book by Myra Macdonald, Defeat is an Orphan: How Pakistan Lost the Great South Asian War published by Hurst Publishers for her reportage on the infamous hijack of IC 814 flight from Nepal to New Delhi.
