The actor went on to reveal that he had directly confronted the person behind the false report. Adhyayan expressed disbelief at how someone could do something so insensitive and said he may never know who was behind it or why it was done.

Like, 'Aap kis context se baat kar rahe ho ki aapne uske bhai ko phone kiya, uski maa ko phone kiya poochhne ke liye ki aapka beta zinda hai ya mar gaya life mein? Kis hisaab se baat kar rahe ho usse?' He had nothing to say,' he shared.
