The conversation continued with Himesh asking the Mass Maharaja about when he came to know that he is very famous in the Hindi-speaking belts as well, assuring him that most of his films have been consumed extensively on television for their dubbed version. The celebrated actor said, "Haan. Ya. Correct. Kyuki kabhi kabhi mera aana jaana yahaan laga rehta hai. Toh logo ka reaction; YouTube mein aur Set Max mein. Matlab kaafi filme meri. Shuru hoti hai Vikram Rathore ke original version se, woh dubbed film thi shayad Pratighat. Toh uss film se shuru hua yeh sab. Uske baad, Andhra states mein agar film flop hoti hai toh Hindi mein hit hai filme woh. Aisa bhi hua hai. Aisa hi hai. Main toh dang ki itne million views! Main toh sochta hoon ki 'Yaar, logo ko kya acha lag gaya?!' Tabhi se tha yeh. Aisi shuruaat thi. Ab jaha pe bhi jaata hoon aur logo ka reaction dekhta hoon, main bolta hoon 'Chalo acha hai'. Seriously acha lagta hai." (Yes. Yes. Correct. Because, sometimes, I do come here for work. When I see people's reaction; On YouTube and on Set Max; Means there are many of my films, starting from Rowdy Rathore's original version titled Pratighat. So that film started it all. Then, even if the film is flop in its original version, it is a hit in Hindi. I was astonished to see so many million views. I wondered, 'What did they even like in this movie!?'. Since then, it has been like this. That is how the start was. Now, wherever I go and when I see such reactions, I say to myself, 'It's good'. Seriously, it feels good)
