In an exclusive interview with Zoom, Chandravanshi recounted the incident in detail, expressing his shock and disappointment at the singer's actions. He described, “Whatever happened was so sudden. I had not expected this to happen to me. Alag sa feel ho raha hai (I feel very different). The concert was going on and I was standing in front of the stage. Aditya sir was performing and he was also taking everyone's phones and clicking selfies for them. I was right by the stage so I also gave my phone to him for the selfie but he hit my hand with his mic and then threw my phone away for no reason.”

The student expressed his feelings of disappointment and disbelief, stating that he had not anticipated such behaviour from a celebrity he admired. Chandravanshi said, “My brother was standing next to me too. Aditya is a huge star and we love him that is why we went. He was taking selfies with everyone so I thought he would take with me too that's why I gave my phone.”

Addressing the broader issue, Chandravanshi remarked that regardless of the individual involved, such behaviour was unwarranted, especially toward fans who admired and respected the artist. He said, “He should have not done what he did to me even if it was some other student. We are all his fans and we love him a lot that is why we go to his concert. Hamare yaha kalakaro ki kami nahi hai vaise (We don't have dearth of artistes in our country).”

The incident garnered negative reactions online, with many criticizing Aditya's behavior. However, the event manager's explanation offers a different perspective, prompting further discussion and raising questions about fan-artist interaction at concerts.
