Bro mujhe door hi rakho protest se jaisi cheezon se. Bro, I am an artiste. Main thodi na neta hoon. Sara kuch life main kabhi nahi theek ho sakta. Iss duniya main saara kuch nahi theek ho sakta."
He mentions that he did not know what protest people were talking about and asked fans to keep him away from protests and political matters, he also said he is an artiste, not a politician and added that life can never be perfect and the world can never be completely free of problems.
