Aur maine kuch galat bol diya agar, itni achhi baat nahi hai, maine kaam ki baat nahi boli toh think hai log isliye maaf kar denge yaar chhota hai abhi, young age hai abhi, seekh lega (If I say something good then people will appreciate that in such a young age, he has come up with such amazing insights, he talks well. And if I have said something wrong, it is not that good, I have not said anything good, I think people will forgive me saying that I am young now and will learn gradually).
