Ravi Kishan salutes Gen Z after viral meme wave

Young people on the internet, called Gen Z, started sharing funny videos of things he said.
Some of his funny phrases, like 'Money Follows My Brotha' and 'Jaldi The Late,' became popular memes.
Many people made jokes about him online, and he went quiet for a few days, taking a vow of silence.
When he came back, he thanked the young people for making him famous.
He said they are very creative and that Parliament is the right place for them.
He also said that the Prime Minister of India listens to Gen Z. Funny videos of him were even shared by big football clubs in Europe.
He said he is just a human being who makes mistakes like everyone else.
He hopes people remember that he was unknown before Gen Z gave him fame.
