I'm very grateful and fortunate to have had them play a very vital roles in my upbringing. AR happens to be one of them. By AR I mean AR Rahman. He's just like my father. He's actually a little bit younger than my dad. His daughter is exactly my age and we have a lot of love and respect for each other. I worked with him in his band as his bassist for 8.5 years. Until 5 years ago I move to the US and I associated myself with other pop artists in the US."

Mohini Dey's Written Statement on the matter

Apart from the video, Mohini Dey also wrote a big statement in her Instagram post caption. She wrote, "It is utterly unbelievable to see the amount of misinformation and baseless assumptions/claims against me & @arrahman." Mohini blamed media for vulgarising the two breakups. She wrote, "It feels criminal that the media has vulgarised the two events. I honour my times as a kid working with @arrahman throughout my 8.5 years of working with him for his movies, tours, etc"! She further wrote, "Its disheartening to see that people have no respect, sympathy or empathy towards emotional matters like this. It saddens me to see people’s state of mind."

She once again called AR Rahman a father figure to her. She wrote, "@arrahman is a legend and he is just like father to me!
I have many role models & father figures in life that have played vital roles in my career and upbringing. To name a few- My dad who taught me everything music (who I lost a year ago) and then @ranjitbarot1 who introduced me to the industry, @Louizbanksofficial who shaped me & @arrahman who gave me the freedom to shine in his shows and his musical arrangements during recording sessions."

Mohini Dey also bashed the media and used strong words. She wrote, "Media/Paps do not understand the effect it has on people’s minds and lives. Be sensitive. I don't owe anyone any explanations but also, I don't want this to brew and interrupt my day so, Kindly stop with the false claims & Respect our privacy."
