Varun stated, “I think you should silence the distractions and allow your work to speak for itself.” Yeh sab kuch hota rahta hai. It truly isn't significant. Main iske liye mehnat nahin karta hoon. Main jis cheez ke liye mehnat karta hoon woh is Friday ko samajh aayegi. “What I am striving for, you will discover this Friday.”
