However, now we have realized our mistake and want to apologize for the same.” He adds, “When we came to know that the language we made fun of belongs to a tribal community in Jharkhand, we regretted mocking it.” 

He also said, “When we make a video without using any script, we tend to use the wrong words, just as we did here.” On this Sambhavna adds, “We would like to issue our sincere apology to all of our followers, subscribers, tribal and non-tribal community. Our intention was not to hurt anyone. We are saddened to read the comments on Instagram. We regret our mistake and have deleted that video out of respect for you all.”
