It's
a
great
legacy

I'm
so
glad
that

recognised
this
legacy

follow

This

also
it
took
just
one
call
from
either
me
or
Anupam
ji

and
everybody
was
on

I
am
extremely
humbled

their

The

the
despair

the
good
fortune

being
a
part

we
are

I
also
feel

the
first
duty
of
an

should
be
humanity.'

Kher
Ji
has
been
a

people
with
all

So
when
he
called
me

I
was
more

it's
the

contribute
to
this
noble

in
large
numbers."
