• “My dream partner would be extremely God fearing, caring, should love animals, kids and the list goes on and on…”

But I told them not to go with the construction as it was insane to waste such efforts, time and money for an actor. We had a similar situation here where temple was built for Kushboo madam and it had to be bulldozed. I was not happy in the first place when the temple was built and am not sad for it coming down” [About building a temple for her]
  

• “Life is a gift given by God and I love it.”
