Siddhant wrote an extensive note, addressing Mr Bachchan in Hindi. He wrote: "Sadar pranam, Aapka uphar aur ashirwaad mila, jo mere liye akalpaniya hai. Iss khushi ki vyakhya mai shabdon mein nahi kar sakta. Ye mere liye saubhaya aur garv jka pal hai, aur ab bas aapke charan sparsh ki kamna karta hun." (Receiving your gift and blessings was unimaginable for me. I cannot express my happiness in words. This is a moment of pride for me and now, all I want to do is touch your feet.)
