In another tweet, the YouTuber says, “Her family is so simple, her son is in the Indian Army. They don't know so much. She only uses her phone just for calling & watching YouTube. Now if brand didn't accept their mistakes, don't take responsibility directly, if a family has to fight for justice then what's the use .”
