A few months ago, in an interview with Farah Khan, titled Tere Mere Beech Mein, Vivek had opened up on the entire controversy. Talking about calling the press conference, Vivek said he recognised that he had made a mistake as soon as he sat in front of the media people for the press conference. He realised that he should have handled it man-to-man and not this way. He also stressed on the fact that his close friend, Sohail Khan, had indeed asked him to wait so he could intervene and solve the matter. But Vivek acted instinctively and was outcaste overnight after the episode.
