Woh 'tu tu' kar ke baat kar rahe hai (He is speaking in a rude manner)."
Kapil Sharma commanded Chandan to show respect to the guests. The latter apologized to Amit sir and even went on to touch his feet. After a point, Kapil and Amitabh burst out laughing. Chandan who was almost teary-eyed took a sigh of relief after learning it was just a prank. He shook hands thrice with Amitabh to get over the shock. Amitabh also took a sip from the tea that the comedian had earlier brought for him.
