Raghav recently released a video from his social media account and apologized, clearing the misconceptions of the people. The host said in the video, "Hello guys, a short clipping of mine has gone viral, after which I am getting hate comments, being called racist. I want to say something about this. I want to tell the full story because it is not right to judge by watching a small clip, watch the full episode first. If you are judging me after watching a small clip, then it is not good for my mental health and the people associated with me.

He further said, the little girl Gunjan had come from Assam. We asked her about her hobbies. So Gunjan said that I can speak in Chinese, hearing this, we laughed and applaud. From here the process of speaking Chinese started with her. We used to tell her in every episode to speak in Chinese. So that's why in the last few episodes, I called her like that because this was very creative. You will understand if you'll watch the full episode.

I am very connected to North-East: Raghav

Further in the video, the actor clarified and said, I am very connected with the people of North-East. My family lives in Arunachal Pradesh. I have friends in Nagaland, that too special friends. I am the person who shows everything politically correct, take a stand, whatever injustice is happening, racism is happening.

Sometimes I also get abused for taking a stand on any religion, culture and other things. I'm sorry if you got offended by something I said. Colours channel had no intention of hurting anyone. It is better to watch the entire episode to see what happened with that girl than to judge.

Raghav further said in the video, I do not follow most of the scripts. For the first time, I told the creatives that we call the girl child because she has always been showing her talent. I understand people are empty, but I would still say that you should watch the full episode once.
