Statement of Shresta after deleting the Viral Video
She wrote in her Instagram story, “I’ve decided to take down my recent video as it seems it was misunderstood by some. It was meant to be light-hearted banter, but I respect that not everyone saw it that way. However, it’s been quite upsetting to receive not just negativity, but also a few threatening messages over it.”

She further added, “I’m not removing the video because I believe I did something wrong, but because I respect my brother and his team, and I don’t want this space to turn into one filled with negativity. Let’s try to be a little kinder and more understanding with each other.”
She also wrote, “It was just a game, and I don’t understand the reason behind hate. The video was for fun, and I was supporting my brother. I will continue doing it, no hate for any franchise. Everyone should have taken it sportingly.”
As per News 18, she wrote, “I understand aggression. I wasn’t trolling anybody. It was my way of celebrating, and I am going to continue doing that. I am just here to say no hate for anybody – only love. It’s a game; we all should have fun. The rivalry should show, no matter what. There were no personal attacks. Just chill. Peace out, guys.”
