Gera
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"I
would
not
want
to
hurt
her,
because,
I
am
a
fan
of
hers.
I
love
the
way
she
sings
and
her
songs
are
definitely
parties
ki
jaan
(her
songs
add
fun
to
the
party).
Even
if
I
don't
know
her
personally,
we
share
greetings
with
each
other
whenever
we
meet.
Her
talent
is
totally
appreciated,
I
am
nobody
to
prove
it
to
her.
She
has
30
million
followers
on
Instagram
who
are
there
to
prove
her
that
how
much
they
love
her."

Nahi
Hai
To
Tell
Her
Anything’
The

said
that
his
idea
was
not
to
hurt
her.

"Meri
koi
aukat
nahi
hai
to
tell
her
anything...
(I
am
no
one
to
comment
on
her)." Jassi

Nahin
actor
further
said
that
he
is
hired
to
act
and
mouth
the
line
which
were
given
to
them.
He
added
that
they
tried
a
lot
to
tone
down
a
few
things
and
cut
a
lot
of
things
which
they
felt
was
not
in
good
taste.
He
added
that
they
tried
their
best
and
shot
a
lot
throughout
the
day.
‘We
Were
Given
A
Few
Lines
To
Enact
By
The
Writers’
He
further
told
the
leading
daily,
"The
idea
was
definitely
not
to
hurt
her.
She
shouldn't
have
any
haters,
we
have
not
done
this
because
we
hate
her.
I
am
just
an
actor
and
that
is
just
a
show.
We
were
given
a
few
lines
to
enact
by
the
writers,
the
channel,
the
production
house.
They
are
more
sensible
than
us
and
they
have
their
own
working
equation
with
Neha
because
she
does
a
show
(Indian
Idol
11)
for
them."
Gaurav
Apologises
To
Neha
"I
thought
they
(Channel
and
Production
house)
work
on
so
many
comedy
shows
on
the
small
screen
they
must
be
aware
of
the
sensibilities.
They
know
what
runs
and
also
they
had
an
equation
with
Neha
so
they
should
have
known
where
to
stop.
But
I
would
like
to
apologise
to
her
and
I
love
her.
She
is
fantastic."
