Toh main unke liye, us ek Kannadiga k liye main kuch line Kannadiga k gaata hoon. Main itni izzat karta hoon aapki, itna pyaar karta hoon. So thoda sa rehna chahiye, aesa nahi karna chahiye aapko (Wherever I go in the world, I tell everyone, in a crowd of 14,000, there will be one Kannada voice. So, I sing for that one Kannadiga fan.
