To the revered saints who blessed me, to my dear friends Yatindra and Manjari Mishra for their love and the delicious meals, to my director Kamakhya Ji, my dear friend and cinematographer Aseem Bajaj, and every member of the film's unit—thank you for making me a part of this extraordinary journey. Thank you, Ayodhya. Until we meet again. Jai Shri Ram!.”
