At the conference, Asif Ali explained that Narayan's reaction was influenced by personal issues he was dealing with at the time. He explained, "The situation unfortunately escalated to being discussed in terms of religion, which is not the case. It was simply a misunderstanding on Ramesh Narayan’s part at that moment. I was running a high fever and only realized yesterday afternoon that it had become a topic of discussion online. We spoke this morning, and I found myself unsure of how to address it."
He further added, "Considering his seniority or his age, he should not have apologized to me."
Asif also explained that his colleague, dealing with a leg issue, was unable to come on stage during the memento presentation. This, coupled with other pressures, led to a reaction that was natural under the circumstances.
Asif stressed that, from his perspective, there was no reason for him to feel sad or upset, and he had no complaints about the incident. He concluded by urging the public to understand that his colleague's reaction was driven by personal concerns and should be seen as a human response to a stressful situation.
