Mentioning that Dipika has also scolded him for the same, Dinesh added that he never had the same intention to hurt the emotions of his millions of fans. He shared:

"I want to apologise for what happened last game. It's not really what I intended. I just got it all wrong. I apologise to everybody. It's definitely not the right thing to say. I got a lot of stick from my wife and my mum for saying that. I am really sorry that it shouldn't happen again."
