“Maine poocha koi advisory toh nahi jaari ho gayi apni team se, unhoney bola nahi nahi sab theek hai. Aaj utha subha toh pata chala advisory jaari ho gayi hai bhai. Aap fikar nahi karey, saari advisory mere upar, aap jitna mazza karney aaye hai mai double mazza dunga. Aaj subha jab yoga kar raha tha toh ek khayal aaya man mei. Aaj k show ki shuruaat uskey saath karta hu. Jab sagarmanthan hua tha na, saarag manthan toh jo amrit tha na vo toh Devta ne piya lekin jo vish tha, jo zeher tha jo Shiv ne piya. Aur Shivji bhi vo zeher apney andar nahi lekar gaye. Unhoney apney kanth tak rakha. Toh mujhe toh yehi seekhney ko mila ki zindagi aur duniya aap par jitna marzi zeher phekey aap usko apney andar mat lekar jana.”

Na waisa mere mann mei hai na mai waisa kuch kehna chahata hu. Aap logon ko zaada pata hai. Lekin mere gaano ki awaaz aajkal sabse zaada hai.”
