What did Paresh Rawal say about the controversy?

In a podcast at The Himanshu Mehta Show, a couple of weeks back, Paresh Rawal opened up on the infamous controversy and revealed that everything is now in place. 

He said, "Mera yahi hai ki jab cheez itni zyda logon ko bhaati hai toh you need to be extra careful. It is our responsibility to the audience, kyunki audience baithi hai itna pyaar karti hai. You can't take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko do." 

(My point is that when something reaches so many people, you need to be extra careful. It is our responsibility towards the audience because the audience is sitting here and loves it so much. You can't take things lightly. Do hard work and deliver.)
