“It’s too hot here. Where is the AC?”
Judge to the tea boy:
“Fan chalao” he uses a paper fan
Tea boy:
“Guys, junior artist Mr Zain adalat main pesh ho rahe hainnnn”
There is an awkward silence in the court. No one cheers or hoots for him. Infact
they show anger on him.
Someone from the audience angrily says: “Best actor pe case karte ho” “This is
your last day in your career” “go back, go back”
