Kushal, in the same interview, said, "This is a matter of somebody’s life. His career, reputation, family… everything is at stake. I feel this matter needs to be investigated thoroughly. There are so many laws now made for the protection of women and rightly so, but they should not be misused. From what I hear, Piyush was living in with this woman for the last two months. This is not some random person he suddenly met. Nobody knows what transpired between the two. All I can say is that in any such case, we should wait for the police to investigate and the courts to decide, rather than jumping to conclusions about a person’s character."

Meher Vij, who is Piyush's sister and was last seen in Bollywood movie 'Secret Superstar' was shocked to know about the same. When she was asked, she told a popular daily, "I have got to know this from you. When did this happen? I don't know anything at all."
