Your warmness and belief in me not only helped me to find myself but also gave me the confidence to survive in this unpredictable, uncertain atmosphere. Today, I am happy and looking forward to the future cos of your niceness! My Family , friends , well-wishers and some really sweet fans. Thank you. *I thank the universe for giving me some time to breathe and feel all the moments with my babies. There's a lot of goodness in all the pain we go through in life and the experience of humiliation and failure teaches a lot more than what appreciation and Success could teach us.*”
