Sai's wife Sapna Amin had shared a touching throwback picture with her husband a week ago, and had written, "Taking it back to 4 years ago with my love, my husband my best friend, Sai Gundewar ♡ This year we have realized more than ever before that life is unpredictable and change is the only constant. So if you haven't already, let's take this time to be grateful for what we have in our lives, even the little things, and less time focusing on what we dont have. #thoughtoftheday #changeistheonlyconstant #positivethinking."
