Soon after facing outage on social media, Ms Kiran deleted the video from her account and issued an apology. In the video, she claimed that she is an animal lover. In the caption, she wrote, "Hi Guys, I am sorry for my cruel act, this was a heat of moment. I regret my actions and didn't realize the gravity at that point of time. I vow to not harm any animals." Commented on the post, an NGO called Animal Hope and Wellness wrote, "That wasn't funny, it was disgusting. I guess it amusing was to you and the people around you, but not to many of us. You showed your "true colors" and so don't pretend now to be someone you're not. Make sure you're not around any animals from now on, they will be much better off."
The influencer enjoys a massive fan following of 1,21,000 followers on Instagram. She posted another video to issue an apology. In the video, she can be seen feeding biscuits to stay dogs and reiterates that she is an animal lover and has been doing good deeds all her life, and people should forgive for making that "one mistake."
