“Gharwaalon ne mujhe ghar bula liya aur pucha ki kya ho raha hain. Maine bhi kaha ki galti ho gayi hain mujhse toh unhone daanta, samjhaya. Yahan tak phir bhi theek tha but jab unko pata laga ki mere ko job se nikaal diya gaya hain toh woh bahut tensed ho gaye. Ab ghar waalon ko dekhta hoon toh bahut zyada regret feel hota hain ki kyun gaya tha uss show mein.”

Says Parts Of The Story Were 'Improvised'

Addressing the comments that triggered the controversy, Himanshu said he had watched previous episodes of Pranit More's show and decided to attend in Gurgaon. He also claimed that the story he narrated on stage was not completely factual.

“Maine joh waha pe story batayi, usmein joh ladki ki baat kar raha hoon main…ha maine ek ladki ko date kiya tha…but sir joh maine waha pe bataya woh totally true nahi tha. Woh ek improvise karke story batayi thi maine wahan par."

He explained that several audience members before him had shared dramatic stories and he ended up presenting his own account in a similar manner.

Himanshu further stated that the remarks were made in what he viewed as an entertainment setting and did not reflect his actual mindset.

“Woh maine joh bataya tha woh sirf ek entertainment way me bataya tha. Mera koi bhi aisa intention ya mentality nahi hain.”
