than
anything

wife
(Aishwarya)
and

(Aaradhya)
got
it
too,
thankfully
the
rest

not.
Obviously,
you're
concerned
about
your

them
to
be
alright.
There'd
little
that
you
can
do
I've
to
thank
all
the
doctors
and
nurses
who
cared
and
worked
so
hard.
I
never
actually
had
time
to
sit
and
contemplate.
At
that
time,
energies
and
concentration
is
all
on
your
loves
ones.
After
recuperating,
I
was
back
to
work."
