After this backlash, Mrunal took to her Instagram stories to make the apology by stating,” I 19 year me as a teenager said many silly things. I didn’t always understand the weight of my voice or how much words, even in jest, could hurt. But it did and for that I am deeply sorry. My intent was never to body-shame anyone. It was playful banter in an interview that went too far. But I understand how it came across, and I truly wish I had chosen my words differently. With time, I have grown to appreciate that beauty comes in every form, and that’s something I truly value now”
