The promo from the episode showed Sakshi saying, “Sir ek baat bolu (Sir can I say something to you)?” To which the host replied, “Haanji (Yes please).” She then said, “Sir aap bohot handsome lag rahe ho. Meri nazar hi nahi hat rahi hai aap se. Makeup ki zaroorat hi nahi hai aapko. Kya khushboo aa rahi thi aapse (Sir you look very handsome. I can’t take my eyes off of you. You don’t even need any makeup. You smell so nice).” As Amitabh and the audience laughed at her comments, the Kalki 2898 AD actor told her, “Khel wel ko mariye goli chaliye hum aur aap chai vay peete hai zara ghoom gham ke aate hain (Let’s skip the show and we both can go out together and have some tea).”
