Building abhi bhi sahi hai. Voh aadmi voh padh ke upar aa gaya (There is a notice outside which reads, 'This building is not safe. You live on your risk.' Even if you go today, the poster will still be there. The building is still there. That man read that and came up)." Abhijeet revealed how the journalist then inquired about the poster that he saw on the building after the interview.
