Aur woh aage bataye ki 'Dekha Salman Khan ke ghar pe goli chaliyi, bach gaya, tum Rs 50 lakh rakho'. Iska jawab yeh hai ki humein normal rehna hai (This is our answer. They’ve done this to terrorize and scare us so that they could boast, “see, we shot fire guns at Salman Khan’s house, we escaped and now you keep Rs. 50 lakh ready. The only answer to them is to normalize it) and everybody was normal. Salma Aunty was normal and Salman was at ease.”
