What did Zarina Wahab say

Hum log ne intezaar kiya jab he was not guilty (we all waited). It took 10 years, but he is out of it, and I am happy. It has affected Sooraj’s career. Woh kya karti thi sab jaante hai (Everyone knows what she used to do), I don’t want to open my mouth. Bolke mein apne aap ko chota nahi karna chahti hoon (I want to come down to that level),” added the Dil Dhadakne Do actor.
