As per Gollapudi, the SMS reads so, "Dear Maruti, I've admitted to hospital for an oral surgery. You're my Guru. You had never shown your disinterest in enjoying Guntur's Lanka Tobacco (Chutta). Also you had never turned down having fun with betel quid with tobacco (Calcutta Patta tho Kattina Jarda Killi with Kashmir Kimaam). Bad always come along with good. God will bless the one who quits the bad habits soon after discovering them. Fortunately, you did so. One who can't give up bad habits will reach the God. You have to explain this to your sons- Patro."
