In a two minute video, he addressed the matter on hand and shared, “I came across some comments on Twitter today that we might have hurt the sentiments of our viewers over a stint in the show. We would never target a particular ethnicity. That was never our intention. Our targetted audience ranges from a four-year-old to an eight-year-old. We receive massive viewership from the K-P region.”

Talking about how every character has its own arc, Nabeed added, “There are several characters on the show. We never meant to disrespect anyone. Our only intention was to make our audience happy.”
