Khan said, "You guys are been seen, more than I am been seen. Iska matlab kya hua? Ki logo ko pasand aa raha hai. 400 crore minutes sirf pehle do hafton mein. Toh yeh toh obious hai ki yeh season do hafte aur aage jayega. Ab zima aapka hai ki log aap logo ko aur pasand kaise kare. Aap logo ko kisi aur par nahi balki khud pe kaam karna hai."
