All of them turning into the same colour of ash. Leaving behind, just their deeds, teaching me the most important lesson of my life. My job was to put life into Deepak, what eventually happened was the other way around.
Four years back, I got to ask you all a question... "अब तो हम friend हो गए, हैं ना?" (now we are friends, right?) ...Answer to which, I keep getting till date. Here's to 4 years of our beautiful friendship. I cherish it everyday of my life. Thank You. #4yearsofMasaan 🤗🎈" (sic)
