Puja noted that her husband, Kunal, has been "deeply affected" by the incident and that the only way they see can get them out of the situation and start their lives again is the support of the audience. Although they did not disclose the exact identity of the fraudster, the couple mentioned that the person was extremely close to them. Kunal said, "When you trust someone for the past 3 years... He has been with you, became a part of your home and family..." as Puja added, "We are deeply hurt but we don't want to give up at this point and come out stronger."

Kunal also revealed that they had not yet told their families about the fraud. "We have cried enough behind it, and these past months were extremely shattering. All we want is support. It was impossible for us to share it with our family but now with this video they will come to know. It feels terrible to share such news with them. All our lives we have worked hard and earned," he concluded.
