In an interview with Pinkvilla, Arti said, "Everyone was very worried. My mom didn’t eat for three days and was on phone calls with everyone. She even asked Krushna to get me out of the house as he knows people in the channel," Arti added that her mom was upset and expected her to share the incident in fewer words, without going into details.
Earlier, Arti's brother Krushna had told the media that she said a little too much in the emotional flow. Responding to this, Arti said, "I know Krushna has said I said a bit too much in the flow. But the attempt happened and he was taken aback when I told him word to word about it. I just wanted to share that it happens with almost everyone. I am glad, touchwood, it did not happen. But it was an attempt and I was saved as I jumped,"
