So mujhe pehle usne bataya to believe hi nahi hua. Maine kaha 'Are you sure?' I thought it was a prank or something. I asked her, 'Is Smriti doing Tulsi?'"
Lastly, sharing his excitement for meeting 'good friend" Smriti Irani after a long period, Amar said in the promo clip, 'Abhi zyada nahi bataunga. Bohot time baad milunga Smriti ko. We have always been good friends on set. Acche dost hai jab pehle mile the tab se. Will pick up from where we left. (Now, I'm not going to reveal anything much. I will see Smriti after a long time. We've always been good friends on set. We've been friends since we first met. Will pick off where we left off.)"
