Mannara added that the director likes her work a lot. She was quoted as saying:
"The viral news has nothing to do with the director. He likes my work in the film a lot. Even when I'm not shooting, my team members call me to say that they are missing me. So I just think that he (director) got over-excited. I was surprised when the video went viral and the way it got picked up. Whatever happened, I think he just did it out of excitement. I don't think his intention was wrong."
