When one netizen replied to him informing him that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in town, he responded, "Oops. I didn't know". One Twitter user even quoted his famous dialogue from the series and wrote, "Har Baar "Risk Hain Toh Ishq Hain", nahin hota Mota Bhai", to which the actor replied, "Bhai koi risk nahi sirf kaam pe jaa raha tha".
