Humko maaloom hai... kya sach? Humne bachpan se dekha hai yaar...death threats, IT raids, ye morche, ye kharche, ye maramaari, ye bachpan se dekhte hain. Tum log ko lagta humein fark padta hai (Kids of film families are either very f*cked up or very strong. In so many things, you really don’t care... We know what the truth is... We’ve seen it since childhood...death threats, IT raids, rallies...so you think we care)?"
