Owing to the controversy, Anu stepped down from the position of the judge of the famous music reality show. Later after the controversy subdued,  Malik released his statement to the media on his stance on the accusations made against him.

Clearing his side of the story, Malik had released a statement on Twitter denying the allegation on him, a part of which read, “It has been over a year that I have been accused of something that I haven’t done. I have been silent all this while as I was waiting for the truth to surface on its own. But I realise that my silence on the matter has been misconstrued as my weakness…Being a father of two daughters, I can’t even imagine committing the acts that I am accused of, let alone do it.” Malik added, “The show must go on. But behind this happy face, I am in pain. I am in a dark space. And justice is all I want.
