Actor Asif Ali has apologised to his co-star Sulekha after a scene mix-up in his new film, Rekhchithram. During a screening, Sulekha, who had appeared in two specific shots, became upset when those scenes were unexpectedly cut during editing.

Asif, noticing Sulekha’s distress, quickly approached her and consoled her. He explained that the editing decision was not intentional and apologised for the unintentional omission. Sulekha, however, expressed that she was grateful for the experience and proud of her performance in the scenes.

"We will work together in the next film," Asif Ali assured Sulekha. Following the incident, Asif spoke about it during a press meet, which was shared widely on social media. Fans praised his empathy and kindness, calling him a true example of how one should treat others with respect and care in the industry.
