You have proven your mettle enough times as an actor – across genres but today you share your labour of love, sweat, and yes even tears with the audience – as a writer-director. I have always been proud of you – and you have moved me to a myriad of emotions ranging from joy to rage but one thing you have always done is make me laugh, and in a way only you can. How can you stay mad at someone who makes you laugh? I have watched you work so hard on this film – from its very inception – letting your ideas spill onto paper in the wee hours of solitary mornings – to running a set with a confidence and ease a first-time director rarely has. Did I already say how proud of you I am? I wish you truckloads of appreciation and success, my jaan. Like they say, even an onion can make people cry, but not everyone can make people laugh. This is just the beginning – onwards and upwards my love… #madgaonexpress @kunalkemmu P.S. hum yahin is where I want to be …”
