In the video, the 50-year-old said, “Main pichle chaar saal se aap logon ke yahan roj pahuch raha hun ek daily soap ke zariye. Ek kirdar play kar raha hu jiske liye mujhe bahut sara pyaar or narazgi mili, but wo narazgi bhi ek tareeke se pyaar hi raha hai kyunki main jaanta hoon ki agar aap naraz na hote mere character dekh kar to mujhe lagta mai theek se kar nahi raha hun (For the past four years, I have been reaching you people through a daily soap. I am playing a character for which I have received a lot of love and criticism, but that resentment is also a form of love because if you don't get to hate him after seeing my character, then I feel that I'm not doing it properly)."
