Addressing the scrutiny surrounding his evaluations of Saritha and Methil Devika, Mukesh emphasized his consistent restraint from making derogatory remarks about them.

Mukesh stressed the importance of granting freedom to loved ones to make their choices, stating that he holds no grudges against them for their decisions. He even extended advice to his children, advocating against causing harm to their mother under any circumstance.
Regarding his second wife, Devika, Mukesh highlighted his contentment and clarified incidents where media attention seemed to anticipate negativity, but he commended Devika's approach in the face of media speculation, acknowledging her statement that their decision was mutual and devoid of accusations of domestic violence.
