In a video shared by Instant Bollywood, Imtiaz Ali said,
“Short way mein jo fame aata hai, who short way mein chala bhi jaata hai. Aur jisko jis cheez mein mazaa aata hai, wohi karna chahiye. Ashleelta aisa subject hai…obviously, wo bura hai ye to koi bhi kahega. But log immature hote hain so zyada seriously unki galtiyon ko lena bhi nahi chahiye. (The fame that comes quickly also fades quickly. And whatever brings someone joy, they should pursue that. Obscenity is a subject… obviously, it’s bad, anyone would say that. But people are immature, so we shouldn’t take their mistakes too seriously.”
Manoj Bajpayee agreed with him and said,

“Aaj kal safalta bohot jaldi milti hai. Mazaa is baat mein hai ki hum safalta ko zyada der tak apne paas kheenchke rakhe taaki baad mein hum uska mazaa le paaye. (These days, success comes very quickly. The real pleasure lies in holding on to success for a long time so that later you can enjoy it).”
Manoj Bajpayee also said,
“Isliye jo bhi log safal ho rahe hain, young hain, yuva hain, humesha mahaul ko zara dekhein, samjhein, bohot zaruri hota hai. Isliye main kehta hu newspaper padho yaar. (So, for all those who are becoming successful and are young, always observe and understand the environment; it’s very important. That’s why I say, read the newspaper).”
Imtiaz Ali further emphasized on the contentment that comes with long-lasting fame. The director said,
“Fir aap ek bade high ke baad humesha ke liye low mein nahi jaate ho. So ek mehnat aur parishram se kamaya hua success hai na, uske peechhe padna chahiye. (After a big high, you don’t always fall into a low. So, success that is earned through hard work and effort, that’s what you should strive for)”
