(If you sit with him for just 15 minutes, you'll feel like he's your own person and that he genuinely cares about you). That was the kind of love he showered upon people around him all the time."

cake main mangaunga' and then the crew said, '
Nahi sir, we will'. Then we cut it together. He fed me and I fed him. It was very sweet of him." He concluded with, "
