Richards explains his flawless Telugu:

Following the now-viral Facebook post, Richards himself took Facebook to clarify the origins of his fluent Telugu.

He says, " A guy called Ganesh uploaded a video on Facebook. I was shocked to see how me speaking Telugu was amusing for people. News channels got a few details wrong when they reported about the video. I am not from New Zealand, I am from the USA. I visited Andhra Pradesh between 2016 and 2018. That is when I learnt Telugu. I love Telugu. I was shocked at the number of people who watched my video."
