Addressing the media, Manoj expressed his regret, saying, "My father's actions towards the media deeply hurt me, and I sincerely apologize to all my friends in the media for this incident. My father is my life and has always been like a God to me. However, he was misled by Vinay, a friend of my brother, who painted me as an adversary. My wife, Mounika, and I recently launched a toy company, and they even created hurdles for us in that venture."
