Elli and Ashish expressed gratitude for the love their music video received, and Ashish revealed, “Elli’s parents knew the truth. But apart from them, so many people congratulated us.” Elli spoke about how she handled the reaction to their picture and the dating speculation, saying, “I didn’t know what to say.

Ashish further dismissed the dating rumours as he joked, "I can never date this person. Mujhe pagal kutte ne nahi kaata hai (I haven’t gone mad). Because working with Elli is like putting your hand in a lion’s mouth. Working with her is extremely difficult. It blew up once media houses picked it up. My original thought was, ‘Let’s prank,’ because my followers are used to my jokes. But we didn’t expect it to get this big.”

On July 12, Ashish took to Instagram and shared a picture of himself holding Elli in his arms as she held a bouquet of roses. Sharing the photo, he wrote, “finally” — sparking widespread speculation about their relationship.
