Amid the escalating argument, the pregnant woman expressed her frustration by stating that numerous issues were arising in society and questioned the dog owner's common sense. She further inquired if the dog owner was aware of the news regarding dog attacks. In response, the dog owner made a derogatory remark, implying that dogs bite people like the pregnant woman. She adamantly refused to comply with the request to use a muzzle, even if they were to wait for an extended period.

As tensions continued to rise, the video concluded with the husband questioning the character of the dog owner. In turn, she retorted by asserting that she was superior to the pregnant woman.

In a Twitter post by the account named Richa Srinet, the woman explains that she faced severe mental distress due to the online abuse she received following the widespread circulation of the video depicting the argument. She alleges that during the dispute, she was subjected to derogatory comments, such as being referred to as a person who owns a cheap dog and an expensive leash. Speaking in Hindi, she admits to responding to the attacks when they became more malicious.
