Speaking to NDTV, Gulshan Devaiah clarified that his take on the controversy was purely his personal opinion and that he was not affected by it. The actor said, “My personal views are not popular views. I really don’t get affected by such things.”

He added, “If somebody feels disrespected, I understand. Ranveer apologised as well. Let’s leave it at that. I don’t know what his intent was; only he knows. We all make mistakes when we get excited.”

Gulshan said that he believes culture is an integral part of the identity of those who belong to the Tulu community and live in that region. He added that from their perspective, it may have been right to react that way, and since Ranveer has apologised, everyone should accept it and move on.
