Ashanty admitted she was shocked to hear the news and wondered why the moment could become negative publicity. For Anang Hermansyah's wife, the allegation that Aurel was sidelined is something that is unreasonable and untrue.

"I don't understand this news. There's nothing, Masya Allah. How could it be reported like that?" said Ashanty when met at Plataran Senayan on Monday (16/2/2026).

Although asked for further details regarding the incident in the video, Ashanty was reluctant to comment extensively. She explained that she was in a hurry because she had a very important meeting that she could not leave behind. "It's not that I don't want to answer, but I have this really important meeting to attend. Secondly, I represent, you know, we are in a competition against other countries, please pray for us," she said.

"So I have an important Zoom meeting. I don't want to discuss something that I also don't understand the story of. I don't have, I don't know the news, and suddenly you ask me like this, I'm afraid of giving the wrong answer," she stated.

Furthermore, Ashanty suspects that what is being widely discussed by netizens is merely a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the situation. She reiterated that the relationship between families is fine and asked the public not to speculate negatively about Aurel's relationship with her in-laws.
