Aman Gandhi’s statement

In a statement shared on Instagram Stories, his team addressed the line, “Don’t increase the population like you.” According to their explanation, Aman was referring to the way Qazi had allegedly fooled other contestants during the first two weeks of the game.

“His statement was about Qazi’s gameplay and strategy, not his religion or community in any way,” the statement read.

The team also pushed back against attempts to interpret the remark as a comment on religious identity. Stating that Aman respects every religion, they described the accusations against him as unfair and unnecessary.

“Targeting him by putting false allegations and wrongly portraying his statement is a very cheap way to bring someone down,” they wrote.

The statement ended with an appeal to viewers to focus on what was said and its context instead of spreading accusations.Let’s stick to what was actually said instead of creating narratives and spreading false accusations,” Team Aman added.
