Meanwhile, talking about Dabboo's clarification on plagiarism row, he had stated on his Instagram page, "This timeless & mesmerising shot of Tabu was taken in the year 2001 and it featured in my calendar in the year 2002. There’s been a little noise about @kiaraaliaadvani ‘s breathtaking 2020 calendar shot with a leaf! Guess if I can reuse my camera, I can repeat my concept! & if at all that doesn’t go well with trolls, then I admit to plagiarising MY SELF".
