Taking to his IG handle, Rajpal shared a video of himself speaking to the camera about the incident while defending Saurabh. He said:
“Saurabh and Zakir are like my younger brothers. They have always given me respect. They are my heart. We are artistes, journalists, painters, storytellers. We are always connected to each other. Saurabh made the entire auditorium stand up and applaud my work. Thank you, Saurabh. Please do not criticize Saurabh. Please do not hurt Saurabh’s feelings. Hurting Saurabh’s feelings means hurting my feelings. If you say anything about Saurabh, it will hurt my feelings.”
