Trinadha further extended a heartfelt apology to everyone affected by his remarks. He also expressed his intention to personally apologize to Anshu Ambani, admitting he never expected the matter to escalate to this extent.
In his words, “I would like to issue a heartfelt apology, as they were objectionable. I will also personally apologise to Anshu. I didn’t realise this would become such a significant issue.”
