'Ab ye kya nautanki hai ? '
'Sir dil kiya aur aaj se jab bhi miloonga, yahi hoga.'
'Khush raho.'"
"And since then he kept dropping in and every time he used to reach out, I used to stop him and say - 'khush raho.' Obviously, it didn't work. RIP Sushant. You are a favourite. Will always be. And let me try once again. Jahan bhi ho... khush raho." Neeraj added.
