In the video, Kapil says, “In India, people are crazy about films and cricket. A student will never wake up to study for exams at 4 am, but they will definitely wake up for a cricket match. Some of them are so crazy, that they wake up at 2 am for a 4 am match, then they see their ‘parents kabaddi’ and go back to sleep.”

Clarifying his words, Kapil further said, “Matlab maa baap ladrahe hote haina (What I meant was that parents are often fighting).”
