Naseem soon addressed the rumors, “Smile toh aapke question pe aa rha hai. I don’t know who Urvashi Rautela is. I only focus on my match. People usually send me videos but I have no idea. I have nothing special in me but I thank people who come to watch cricket and give a lot of respect,” stating he did not know Urvashi and was focused on his cricket career.

However, Urvashi continued to fuel the buzz by posting another video featuring Naseem on TV while she was working out, seemingly aware of the speculation.
On Naseem’s birthday, Urvashi wished him in the comments and congratulated him on his honorary DSP rank. Naseem's Instagram account replied with a thank you, but Naseem later clarified in an interview that it was his manager who responded. He mentioned he doesn't personally handle his Instagram much and told his manager to respond to birthday wishes. "I didn’t know that he [manager] would write thank you to just anyone," Naseem said with a smile.
When asked about his feelings towards Urvashi, Naseem diplomatically stated, "Everyone is a human, everyone is good and I like all humans, but I don't take anything personally."
