"Hume is hotel mein aake itna achcha laga ki hum aap ko bata nahi sakte ki hum hotel mein aaye hai ki swarg mein aaye hai. Itna dhyan hume sasural mein nahi milta jitna is hotel mein mila hai. Humara itna dhyan is hotel ne rakha hai usse Humari ankho mein aansu a gaye. Is hotel ne hume itna pyar diya ki shayad hi kahin itna sneh aur pyar milega. Kehne ko bahut hai lekin hum itna bata sakte hai ki hum aapka dil se dhanyavaad karte hai.”
