Later, the director of one of her films clarified the rumors and shared a video apologizing for Ashika, saying:
Ashika is not a person who would act the way she appears in the video. It was an intense scene in our film, but it was taken out of context. She was so unhappy with the viral video that she now refuses to promote the film. Making the video public was a mistake by our marketing team. Someone decided to use this sequence and it was part of the shoot. If you pay attention, there are shooting props in the background. Having said that, I take full responsibility for this error. This shouldn’t happen. This shouldn’t be a personal attack on Ashika. Currently, people think it was the actress throwing a drunken tantrum because her performance was very realistic. On behalf of the entire team, I would like to express my sincere apologies to Ashika. “
