Many people castigated the pair for contaminating the waterfall and putting the aquatic life in the area at risk.

In response,Eric revealed that the substance used to turn the waterfall pink was actually not harmful and that it was, indeed, food colour laced with fish food from the supermarket.

"Sio rangi, sio paint ya ukuta. Tulienda tukanunua pale Industrial Area zile samaki wanaweza kula ama wazirambe....lazima uchukue permission kutoka kwa watu wa maji. Huwezi kubali kufanya kitu kama hio lazima ukuwe na license. Sio kemikali, ni chakula ya samaki, tumechezea tu. Ni chakula ya samaki tumeweka food color."

Speaking in an interview with Ankali Ray, He emphasized that he had no intention of polluting the water and stated that he sought permission and a license from the local authority for the event.
