In her video, Pearle Maaney explained that what she originally wrote was misunderstood and people gave it a meaning she didn’t want. “I wrote it around 11 o’clock. Whatever we post today, some people will see it as good while others will see it as bad. Many people understood what I meant. But after a while, comments started coming up with interpretations that I had never thought of. I kept thinking to myself, ‘I’ve never written this before. This is not what I meant.’ Even though I say ‘Go Home,’ I just mean you all to be safe. I wouldn’t ask anyone to stop their shows and go home. ” He said he wrote the post after watching disturbing videos of students being beaten during the protests and added that he was dismayed to learn through direct messages that his words were being interpreted differently.

I can’t say that about Sibi Malayil sir. He is one of the best filmmakers in Malayalam cinema, and everyone knows that. I love him so much. Sir, if you see this, I am the one who loves you the most. I am very sorry that I used the word ‘failed filmmaker.’” He also said that he always respected Sibi Malayil and did not want to involve his name in controversies.
