The event company emphasized that KK didn't show any symptoms of sickness during his gig, and performed rigorously till the end. They further mentioned,

"The videos that are being circulated on social media that KK sir was being rushed out because of chest pain is absolutely false and are not even from the 31st May show. KK Sir went back to the hotel and has taken selfies with fans there too, before falling sick. His manager has also confirmed the same.”

Regarding the ventilation, they stated that the Nazrul Mancha auditorium had its AC running at full capacity, however, the crowd had exceeded the seating capacity. Concluding their statement, the company mentioned, "It's an unfortunate loss for all of us, specially for 'us' because we have been associated with KK sir for a good number of years and had developed a personal bond with him."

They continued, "While we are mourning the loss of a dear one, we would like to request you to understand our situation and introspect if at all we deserve the hate campaign that some people have started on social media. If you find solace in doing this, we will be happy to bear the brunt of your anger. Artist coordination was our responsibility and we have done the best possible."

KK has etched his place in the hearts of millions with his tracks like Dil Ibaadat, Tadap Tadap,  Zara Sa, Khuda Jaane, Dus Bahane, Tune Maari Entriyaan, Piya Aaye Na among others.
