Talking to a local publication she said, “First of all, I’d like to apologize to everyone who got offended by the video I posted. That was not my intention at all. I would like to add that I took the snap down when I saw it again myself, as I found it extremely weird. It came out in the wrong manner.”

The ‘Titli’ star also added that she is known for making vines and funny videos but she never thought of harassing the passenger by any means. It was just the change of expressions between two people, which she found hilarious.
“I’m known for making funny vines and videos and that was what the video was about. I wasn’t harassing anyone. That definitely wasn’t what I meant to do. It was just an exchange of expressions between two people and I found that hilarious at that time. However, I would still like to apologize to everyone for it,”
She also added that she was not using her star power to troll people since she does not consider herself a star.
