In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Akanksha Puri was asked about Bigg Boss OTT 2 host, Salman Khan's apology. As a reply, Akanksha said that it felt bad to see the host asking for an apology, but it was even worse that the apology video was not promoted as much as the kiss video of her and Jad. Akanksha mentioned that there were several thumbnails, screenshots, and reels of her and Jad kissing on the app. She stated that on the app, the episode was named the 'Hottest kiss ever', which was promoted way too much than Salman Khan's apology video. Talking about the same, Akanksha said:

In the same interview, Akanksha mentioned that she felt used somehow and said that if the kissing was wrong, one could have stopped it immediately. Akanksha mentioned that if the contestants in the house do not wear their mic properly or speak in English, then Bigg Boss quickly object to that, but during the task of her and Jad kissing, no one stopped them. Akanksha mentioned:

"On one hand, you are promoting it so much. I feel I was used somehow. You used me for it, and your host had to apologise for it so I found these things very contradictory… And if this was so wrong, they could have stopped the task."

Further, in the interview, Akanksha Puri called out the makers of the show and said that the kissing scene was decided and planned. When she was questioned if the makers wanted the kiss to happen in the house, Akanksha stated that if the makers had a problem with the kiss, then the clip was not promoted, and it won't be everywhere.

Moreover, Akanksha could be quoted as saying:

"They could have said stop the task and we would have stopped it, but no one stopped it. That task took a while, it was decided, planned, we accepted it and then we did it. In all of this, they couldn’t have stopped us?” she questioned. When asked if the makers wanted that kiss to happen, she said, “Obviously, I feel that way. Makers had no issues with that kiss that is why it was telecast, that it was it was promoted, that is why it is everywhere. And I was given the blame for that and eliminated from the house. I definitely feel used."
