According to Times of India, Asit has come out and denied the allegations against him saying "This is just a fake and baseless allegation and it holds no truth. She is just trying to malign my image.

My director and the team asked her to leave the show. We have all the proof and I am not talking just randomly. My production will soon send you all the proofs and documents."
Production house Neela Telefilms also released a statement in which they said "She lacked basic discipline on the set and was not focusing on her work.

"While moving out from the shoot, she rashly drove her car out at very high speed not caring for people in her way. She even damaged the set property. We had to terminate her contract because of her bad behaviour and indiscipline during the shoot. During this incident Asit ji was in the US. She is now trying to defame us and the show by making baseless allegations. We have already filed our complaint against these baseless allegations with the concerned authorities." reported Times of India.
