Mukhija addressed Sudhanshu Pandey's recent comments directly.

Speaking to Money Control, Apoorva stated, “Sudhanshu ji has given 8 interviews till now. 80% of that he talks about me.” She emphasized that despite his silence about her during the show, he has since repeatedly highlighted differences between men and women, questioning why women face abuse and hinting at underlying misogyny. She also pointed out that Sudhanshu used a lot of abusive language in the final episodes. Apoorva expressed understanding, suggesting that if she were a senior actor who felt overshadowed in the game, she too might react defensively. She added, "And the truth is, if he doesn’t talk about me, whose photo will he put in the thumbnail? Whose name will he write in his titles? And about whom will the headline be published?".

Apoorva also spoke about her attempts to resolve the conflict privately.

WhatsApp Apology and a Sharp Response

Apoorva revealed that she repeatedly apologized to Pandey via WhatsApp, expressing regret that he felt aggrieved. However, she claimed he responded by suggesting she treat her own child in a similar manner, and that his mother was very upset. She retorted that if that's how he treats his own children, then that is his concern. She believes this behavior is ingrained and voiced her disapproval of moral policing, especially given her repeated apologies to both Pandey and Ashish, which she says he is aware of.
