Working with you has been a learning experience. Just one piece of advice, start respecting human beings also apart from animals. All are not as successful as you are. All are not as talented as you are. But if they all are talented like you, who will value you? So have some gratitude towards their existence. And also, if somebody is correcting you, don’t abuse that person. Refrain from using foul language in front of women who have nothing to do with the stardom you carry, they are by chance just traveling with you. Thanks for making me realize it was your show and you have the power to throw out anybody, anytime. You are the wittiest, and the best in your field. But don’t act like a ‘God’. Take good care of yourself. Wish you a lot more success and fame.”
