Maheep Kapoor recently opened up about the incident on her show, The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. During a discussion with Seema Sajdeh, Karan Johar stepped in to mediate their differences. Maheep shared the turmoil she was facing at the time, saying, “I was dealing with my own madness. I exposed my elderly parents and Shanaya to COVID-19, and we all fell ill. On top of that, doctors were saying my mother needed to be hospitalized. It was a lot to handle after my house help, Rekha, passed away.”

She continued, “Shanaya’s film didn’t start, and she was traumatized. You had to intervene.” Turning to Seema, Maheep added, “I wasn’t there for her, but she didn’t understand the circumstances.”
