In another tweet, he also posted lyrics of a popular song from Rajesh Khanna-Sharmila Tagore starrer ‘Amar Prem’ — ‘Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna’, and tagged Sule.

कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना
छोड़ो बेकार की बातों में कहीं बीत ना जाए रैना
कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना!
कुछ रीत जगत की ऐसी है, हर एक सुबह की शाम हुई
तू कौन है, तेरा नाम है क्या, सीता भी यहाँ बदनाम हुई
कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना! @supriya_sule https://t.co/X69vWB7j3u
