Shaktimaan blasts at paparazzi

Aapne mujhe bulaya na sunne ke liye, sunte kyu nahi phir? Jo baat karni hai bahar le ke jao na” (Stop for a second. Why are you guys talking? Who's the one talking there? However senior you are, just keep quiet! You called me to listen to me right, why aren't you listening then? Whatever you want to discuss, please take that outside).
