The video is captioned, “Apologizing to the whole Adivasi community with @imavinashdwivedi”. In the video Avinash says, “The video, which we posted on June 16, has hurt the sentiments of lakhs of people from the tribal community. We realized our mistake when we came to know that the language we made fun of belongs to a tribal community in Jharkhand. When we make a video without using any script, we tend to use the wrong words.”
Sambhavna said, “We would like to apologize to all of our followers, subscribers, tribal and non-tribal community. We are deeply saddened to read the comments on Instagram. Our intention was not to hurt you at all. We have deleted that video out of respect for you all.”
