Dabur also apologised after Madhya Pradesh home minister Narottam Mishra criticized the ad. The brand withdrew the advertisement from all the platforms and issued a public apology for hurting the sentiments of some people. Dabur's statement reads as "Fem’s Karwachauth campaign has been withdrawn from all social media handles and we unconditionally apologize for unintentionally hurting people’s sentiments."

After they issued a public apology,  filmmaker-actor Pooja Bhatt also came forward in slamming the netizens who criticized the ad. Taking to Twitter, Pooja Bhatt wrote, "Bas yahi karte raho (keep doing this).. slam, bam, ban! So much for being the ‘Mother’ of democracy! Pity a giant like #Dabur refused to stand behind their AD.
