However, Shaheer was quick to apologise. He posted a note on Twitter which read: SorryDivyNidhi Sharma Ji. Didn't mention anything I was talking to the PR team I told them I write and I wrote few lines for the initial few eps also and then we got a new writer and his shayaries are good. I would never want to put my name on anybody's work. Ididwritefewlines, which I am not really proud of because it's very average and I thought of it while standing in the scene in front of the camera is what I still remember "jo rehgaya peche nisha jo chut gae halki is yaad.. uska bas yahi kehna hai, ki humari kismat mein firse milna hai. I guess apart from this they made me dub few newshayries which I guess were yours but if u say that u have written this also then I agree to that as well. I don't want to take credit for writing as I am just an actor and that's what I do when I am on set. Sorry didn't mean to hurt anyone."

He further clarified, "It's not an interview, it was a write-up by the PR team. I should have realised that it can hurt someone. Didn't meant to take credit. Sorry it's all your work (sic)."
It’s was not an interview it was a write up by the PR team. I would again want to apologise because I should have realised that it can hurt someone. they keep reading my shayries on twitter and insta and that’s why they asked. Didn’t meant to take credit. Sorry it’s all you. ðÂu00c2u009fÂu00c2u0099Âu00c2u008f https://t.co/0e3JmvyVzR
