She further stated, “Have you no shame wearing a T-shirt that features Mickey Mouse with our Prophet’s name written right above its ear? Have you no shame at all? And doesn’t your husband know this? You people have no respect for others’ religion; you wear such a T-shirt. Is this what you’ve been taught? Our Artists never disrespected your religion or your god like this.”
She further urged her to issue an apology. “You must apologise, and don’t you dare say that you didn’t know. I can’t even begin to describe how angry I am. Who do you think you are wearing that T-shirt? And you keep flicking your hair back just to show it.”
Meanwhile, Arjun and Neha are currently being seen in a reality show, Pati Patni aur Panga 2, where they have been receiving immense love from the audience.

Arjun also expressed concern over the online abuse directed at his wife, saying that a lack of awareness should not become a reason to subject someone to harassment or threats. He further revealed that the couple had not purchased the T-shirt themselves but had received it as a gift from a fan in Bangkok.
“It was a T-shirt gifted by a fan in Bangkok at a mall, and we didn’t know the meaning of what was written. We celebrate all festivals, and we will never hurt anyone’s sentiments in any way. We are sorry for what happened unintentionally, and we will always be careful in future with regard to the gifts we receive,” he said.
The actor also urged people to approach the matter with understanding and refrain from targeting Neha and her family.
“We request everyone to approach this matter with understanding, sensitivity and compassion, and to refrain from spreading hate or targeting Neha and her family. We believe that mutual respect and dialogue are far more constructive than abuse and intimidation. We hope this clarification helps put the matter into perspective and request everyone to allow the situation to be addressed with dignity and understanding.”
