Taking to Instagram, he penned a long heartfelt note for all his fans who bombarded him with the line to show their support for the film. Addressing the fact that it has become a mantra of sorts, he wrote, "It’s not just a line anymore... I get so many “How’s the Josh?!” videos from you all everyday, each one made with so much love and passion, from schools, colleges, cafes, workplaces... from people fighting the cold in minus temperatures to people sweating it out in the gym... from conference meetings to marriage ceremonies... from a 92 years old grandmother to a 2 years old kid... from even our Jawaans in the armed forces."

The actor feels that it is not a dialogue, but instead has become the national emotion as he continued, "It’s not just a line anymore, you all have turned it into an emotion... an emotion so strong and special, I’m going to cherish for life. Thank You, everyone."
