Chinmayi responded gracefully in an interview. She clarified that Dhee was supposed to perform at the event but could not attend due to being out of town.

Chinmayi joined in the last moment and was overwhelmed by the love she received there. She humbly said that vocal maturity comes with time and praised Dhee for her crazy voice, emphasizing there is no competition between them.

Composed by A.R. Rahman. Chinmayi ended with a positive message, encouraging support for all artists over comparisons.

காலை கனவினில் காதல் கொண்டேன்…
கண் விழித்தேன் அவன் காணவில்லை…
என்னோடு உன்னை
ஒன்றாக்கும் வரை
என்ன செய்தும் வழி தீரவில்லை…. ❤️

Dhee version is good but Chinmayi version hits different ❤️❤️<3!!@Chinmayi nailed it #MuththaMazhai#ThugLifepic.twitter.com/Z1cKBC4n8R
