I am going to fight in the operation theatre as well. I know nothing is going to happen to me, as I’ve got my mother’s blessings with me, she’s there with me. I am a fighter, and I’ll come back, nothing will happen to me. Chota sa tumor hi toh hai, nikal jayega. I’ll come back and dance and sing. I’ll entertain people again.”
