Later, the director of one of her films clarified the rumours and shared an apology video for Ashika and said,

Ashika is not a person who will behave in the way it is shown in the video. This was an intense scene from our film, which has been taken out of context. She is so upset with the viral video that she is now refusing to promote the film. Making the video public was a mistake by our marketing team. Someone has decided to use this sequence, which was part of the shooting. If you pay attention, there are shooting props in the background. Having said that, I take complete onus for this mistake. It should not have happened. This should not become a personal attack on Ashika. Right now, people are believing that this was a drunken tantrum by the actress because her acting was quite realistic. On behalf of the entire team, I extend a heartfelt apology to Ashika.”
