Banti mentioned, “Mujhe unki ek or baat pasand hai vo jab shaant baithte hai toh aisa lagta hai bahut shaant swabhaav ke hai, lekin jaise hi vo muskurate hai aisa lagta hai ki hazaron khushi mil gai hai.” This admiration for the Singham actor’s smile, which Banti described as bringing a thousand delights, was shared with a touch of humour.
