The actor shared this during the course of a chat show. He said, "Abhi kya bolu woh toh plan tha. Plan tha. Bahu ka nahi tha, baccha ke tha ((What to say, that was the plan. It wasn't for a daughter-in-law, it was for a child)."

Talking on Aap ki Adalat, the actor said, "Lekin ab woh law ke hisaab se woh toh Hindustan mein ho nahi sakta. Toh ab dekhenge kya kare (But according to the Indian laws, it's not possible. Now we'll see what to do)."
