And, Raghav Juyal also took to Instagram to issue a clarification. Juyal apologized for the way he introduced the girl and added that it was not his motive to hurt anybody. Adding that he does not like to go by the script every time, Juyal said that he believes in doing everything in the moment.

“I am sorry if you are hurt by my introduction. It was not mine or the channel’s motive to do so. Generally, shows have scripting. I don’t like to go much by the script. I do everything in the moment and capture it and then have fun. It comes with all honesty. I believe in that,” concluded Juyal.
