Quoted by Bollywood Shaadis, he recalled, “Jab hum ye episode dekh rahe the, toh main baitha hua, Chandni baithi huyi aur dusri sofe par meri beti baithi hai jo 15 saal ki hai. Toh hum sab TV dekh rahe the, toh suddenly ye scene aaya, kiss huyi, kiss khatam huyi aur begam aur beti ne mudke meri taraf, maine dekha aur hum sab casually phir dobara screen ki taraf chale. Toh mujhe itna fakar mehsoos hua ki there was no raised eyebrows. Iss mein koi embarrassment ki baat nahi thi, beti ko laga ki ye Abba ka kaam hai.”
