Several minutes after the scenes of Pratik Gandhi cooking a vegetarian meal for his friends and wife, during the final section of the episode in question, Gandhi, while referring to his disasters as a home chef, can be heard saying that, "During the lockdown, I had done enough disasters." At this point, Pratik Gandhi's wife, Bhamini Oza Gandhi, chimed in and said "Couple of times he said that "I'll make Rotis (Indian Flat Bread/Tortilla)" and then, when he was doing it, roti ekdum papad jaisa pan gaya tha (Which roughly translates to: when, he was doing it, it became exactly like a papad".
