So, we're enjoying every moment of it. And of course, it is always lovely working with my wife, Gauri. So, all of us are coming back, you know, for such a lovely show — and such a big show. So, wonderful."
Hiten added, 'It's nice to be back. And I hope people love us the same way. The same love and affection are all there. People are messaging, and they're really, really happy that we're coming back. So, we're also waiting with them for 29th July to see their reaction. Well, thank you. Thank you so much."
