He further added, “Hum sukoon se baithte hain aur ghar ko enjoy karte han‘Gauri ne kya ghar banaya hai yaar.’ Abhi mere ko toh problem yeh hai ki penthouse mein jaake bhi yahi bolna padega‘Kya penthouse banaya hai Gauri’(We just sit back, relax and enjoy the homeWe admire Gauri for what she has createdNow, my only concern is that even when we’ll move to penthouse, we’ll have to admire that as wellWhat a penthouse Gauri has designed).”
