Jab main hasaa hoon toh aap hasse hain, jab meri aakhein num hui hain toh aapke bhi aankhon se aansu bahe hain. Aap mere saath iss safar mein bhagidaar bante rahe hain, Aarambh se lekar anth tak.
Aap hain toh ye khel hai, aur ye khel hai toh hum hain. Bahot bahot dhanyavaad aapka."(Sometimes, we live a moment in which we get so lost in it that when that moment comes to an end, it feels as if it had just begun, and it's ending so soon.
Everything feels like yesterday. Going through these feelings, I am going to start the last day of the game. Spending more than a third of my life with all of you is a great honor for me. Whenever I have said to my heart that we are coming, all of you have welcomed me with open arms.
Whenever I have laughed, all of you have laughed with me. Whenever I have cried, all of you have cried with me. All of you have been a part of this journey with me from the beginning to the end.
All I have to say to you is that I have the ability. If you are here, then this is a game, and if this is a game, then we are here.)As the show was coming to end and the megastar witnessed the audience getting emotional, Amitabh Bachchan decided to lift the spirit of the entire studio by singing for over 32 minutes.
