"Pichli baar jab hum aaye they to mann mein kuch sawaal they," the actor stated in an interview with Premanand Maharaj. Mujeh laga ki bhi baitha tha wahan pe, un sab ne kuch na kuch waisa sawaal kar liya tha. (I had some unanswered questions when I visited last. I wanted to ask those questions, but it was essentially covered by someone else.

"Jab yahan pe aane ki baat kar rahe they, main aapse mann hi mann baat kar rahi thi," she added, smiling. Koi na koi wo sawaal puch raha hota tha, agle din main Kanti Vartalap kholti thi. Bhakti de do aap bas mujhe. (I was mentally conversing with you when I considered coming here. Someone would have asked those questions when I opened "Kanti Vartalap" the following day. I only want your blessings now.)
