Ekbar Aaja Aaja”- a popular Hindi track composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
Ashwin, recognised for having a humorous character, replied to the fans’ call with a golden reaction. He smilingly looked at them and replied, “Kaal Aata Huu. (I will come tomorrow).” The Jaipur franchise dropped a clip of Ashwin’s friendly banter with fans on Twitter.
