  • The said statement was issued by Excel Entertainment (the show's production company) and signed by Puneet.

    The makers acknowledged that the voice-over used in the scene where actor Kulbhushan Kharbanda's character is seen reading Pathak's book, is actually unrelated to the contents of the book.

    Furthermore, they offered an apology for "inadvertently hurting your sentiments."

    'We did not intend to tarnish your reputation'

  • "(We) would like to convey to you that this was not done with any malicious intent or to tarnish/damage your reputation. We are aware that you are a writer of repute and your work is held in high regard," the statement further read.

    The makers promised to make changes within three weeks

  • The makers have offered to edit the scene, either by blurring the book's cover or by removing the voice-over within a period of three weeks.

    "We would like to assure you that to rectify this situation, as discussed with you and as per your wishes, we will blur the book-cover in the scene or remove VO within a reasonable time of three weeks (sic)."
