The actor's response to Tamannaah's previous statement
The host brought up Tamannaah's earlier statement that children fall asleep listening to her song Aaj Ki Raat. Kapoor responded, "Kitne umar ke baache so jaate hain? 70 saal ke umar ka bhi bachha ho sakta hai na, main hota toh puchta ke kitne umar ke so jaate hain (Kids of which age sleep? A 70-year-old can also be a kid. I would have asked this question to her)."
Actor's blessing
Kapoor further called her 'sister'
Kapoor continued, "Behen, apne gaane se, apne shareer se, apne dudhiya chehre se humare bacchon ko sulati hain. Bahut achchi baat hai.. (Our sister is making kids sleep with her song, with her milky face and body. It's very good.)" He added that it would be a great blessing for the country if children got a good night's sleep because of her.
