In the famous scene, Khan's character says, “Itni shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai, ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki sazish ki hai. Kehte hain, kisi dil ko shiddat se chaho toh puri Kaynat usse tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai.” (They say if you desire someone with such intensity, every particle in the universe has conspired to bring you closer to me. They say that if you desire something with all your heart, the entire universe begins to conspire to help you achieve it.)
