Addressing the controversy, Malik explained her intention behind the video and acknowledged her error. Speaking to the media at the temple, she said, “Meri bacchi Kali Maa ki badi bhakt hai, isliye maine socha uske liye woh look recreate karu. Shayad mujhse badi galti ho gayi. Main sabhi se haath jod kar maafi maangti hoon. Jo maine kiya, koi aur woh galti na dohraye.”
She further clarified that the video had been created three months ago and was taken down shortly after due to the negative reactions. “Maine comments padhe aur samjha ki maine galti ki, isliye video turant delete kar diya. Lekin dusre pages ne us video ko save karke aage share kiya.”
In a video from her temple visit, Malik is seen breaking down in tears as she seeks forgiveness from the public. She expressed willingness to accept any punishment deemed appropriate by authorities or religious leaders.
“Mujhe jo bhi saza di jayegi, main usse mannane ke liye tayyar hoon. Jo bhi kaha jayega, main woh karungi.”
