He further said, "Kitne umar ke baache so jaate hain… 70 saal ke umar ka bhi bachcha ho sakta hai na? Main hota toh puchta ke kitne umar ke so jaate hain.

Annu continued, “Behen, apne gaane se, aapne shareer se, apne dudhiya chehre se humare bacchun ko sulti hain… Bahut achi baat hai... Desh ke upar kripa hogi agar humare desh ke bacch achi aur swasthya neend soyein. Agar aur bhi kuch ichain hain toh bhagwan unko samarth karre ke unki ichchan puri hun (Our sister is making kids sleep with her song, with her milky face and body; if she is making our children sleep sweetly, it’s very good, man… It will be a great blessing for this country if our children get a good and healthy night's sleep. If she has any other wishes, may God give her the capability to fulfil her wishes. That’s my blessing for her.”
