Mujhe football kick karte nahi dekhna chahiye (hass laugh). [Music] yeh hi toh hai jo main passionate hoon.” Unhone maana ki ab sabse badi challenge fresh inspiration dhundhna hai, aur kaha, “Is stage par sabse mushkil cheez inspiration hai kyunki jo bhi main kehta hoon, main practically sab kar chuka hoon.” Lekin unhone emphasize kiya ki unki passion hi unko chala rahi hai: “Lekin jo main chala raha hoon woh yeh hai ki main abhi bhi involved hoon aur main sun sakta hoon ki duniya mein kya ho raha hai.”
