In a video statement shared during a team retreat in Dubai, Rathee appeared unfazed by the controversy. He mocked the quality of the "evidence" presented against him, noting that those behind the rumors failed to use even basic AI tools to create convincing fakes.

"I was busy with team meetings and enjoying Dubai, but when I saw these rumors, I was surprised by how unbelievable they were," Rathee stated. He added that the claims were so far-fetched that even his most vocal critics were hesitant to believe them, calling the campaign a "failed attempt" at character assassination. Engagement Farming or Real Scandal?

While Juli has not released a formal video, her social media activity alongside Dhruv in Dubai served as a silent rebuttal to the rumors. Sources close to the couple noted that they have always maintained a high level of transparency regarding their digital lives. Supporters of the couple have flocked to their comment sections to denounce the rumors, urging social media platforms to take stricter action against defamatory content.

Rathee concluded his response with a defiant message to his detractors, telling them to "try harder" and "use some intelligence" if they planned to target him in the future. As of now, no credible evidence has surfaced to support any of the cheating claims, and the YouTuber has resumed his regular content schedule, focusing on his upcoming AI masterclass series.
