Don't get under the pressure of your mother, home, work, studies, money, world, and health). He added that as long as your health is intact, you have nothing to worry about. 'Health jab tak hai sab sahi hai. Jaha tera health gaya game baj gaya' (As long as you have health, everything is fine. Once your health is gone, the game is over).

Khatam baat' (So when you know the end, there's no point in trying to calm yourself down. My soul falls asleep in love. All this pity-pity is a big mess. Don't engage in self-pity. That's it).
