As the fans of Kapoor and Bhatt rejoice, a quote by the actor from his recent 'Shamshera' movie promotions is making the rounds on the Internet.

During the event, the 39-year-old actor had talked about building his own family and working for them. Kapoor was asked about his future plans to which he said, "Abhi mujhe bahot kaam karna hai sir. Abhi mujhe family banani hai, unke liye kaam karna hai. Pehle mai khudke liye kaam karraha tha. Nahi nahi, abhi mai bahot kaam karunga. (I have a lot of work to do. Now I have to build a family, so I have to work for them. Earlier, I used to work for myself. But now, I have a lot of work."

At the same event, the actor also spoke about his outlook on marriage and how it changed after he found Bhatt.

"It is a big year for me, a great year. I got married. It is a beautiful thing that has happened in my life. I used to say in my films that shaadi (marriage) is dal chawal,". Kapoor said, referring to his famous dialogue from 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani'.

"Shaadi is dal chawal for pachaas saal till you die. Arey life mein thoda bahut keema pav, tangdi kebab, hakka noodles bhi hona chahiye na. (Marriage is like eating dal chawal for 50 years till you die. You need some other dishes and flavours, too)," the actor recited his famous line, adding that Bhatt is his "tadka" in the dal.

"But boss, after my experiences in life, I can say dal-chawal is the best. Alia is my tadka in the dal-chawal. She is also the achaar (pickle), pyaaz (onion). She is my everything. I couldn't have asked for a better life partner," he added.
