Siwet Tomar's statement over eviction

After the news of eviction, Siwet had also taken to his social media handle sharing, "This tattoo isn't just ink on my skin, it's my representation, my bloodline, and a reminder of the legacy I carry. So if you think you can mislead people and I'll simply walk away, you clearly don't know me. I have said it once, and I'll say it clearly: I will not play with or engage with someone who has wronged me until there is a sincere apology. That isn't ego, that's my boundary. And when I give my word, I stand by it. Stop misleading innocent people and dividing them on the basis of religion for political advantage. Start putting humanity above every political agenda. I won't back off because everyone stands against me. Even if I have to stand alone, I'll stand my ground."

It will be interesting to see what will the makers decide for Siwet Tomar and Shehzad Poonawalla.
