In the video, Yadav is seen with folded hands, conveying his apologies to those who felt offended by his actions.
Stressing the importance of his religion, Yadav stated, "Sabse pahel jo bhi mere Hindu bhai hai, unn sabhi ko mere taraf se haath jod ke sorry hai ke aapko bura laga ke maine Munawar ko gale lagaya (Firstly, I would like to apologise to my Hindu brothers with folded hands since you felt bad after I hugged Munawar)."
He further clarified that despite his friendly interaction with Faruqui at the event, he does not consider him as a friend or brother and prioritizes his religion above all else. “You guys said Elvish was wrong. I admit that I was wrong. I can sacrifice thousands of Munawar over my religion. I do not consider him as my friend or brother. I am saying this on camera. For me, my religion is supreme,” he added.
Elvish also said that he has received threats to his life following the match and expressed his desire to resolve the situation definitively.
