Also,

Shah
(aka

dropped
a
picture
with
Vinod
and
penned
a
poem
on
Instagram.
He
wrote,
"Jiske
sath
hota
vohi
samajta,
Auro
ko
toh
dekhaye
ka
khel
rachna
na,
Auro
ko
toh
bus
dur
baith
kar
baatein
bol
na.
Magar
asal
mai,
Jiske
saath
hota
voho
kisi
ko
khota,
Khota
aur
phir
rota
rote
vakh
bhi
apne
aap
ko
chup
karata
aur
andhar
hi
andhar
chikta
aur
phir
baar
baar
puchta
ki
kyu
Kyu
sirf
mere
sath
hi
aisa
hota
??!!!
-Samay
(Only
people
who
face
problems
can
understand...Others
sit
afar
and
talk.
But
the
one
who
loses
someone,
cries
and
consoles
himself.
He
screams
in
his
head
as
to
why
it
only
happened
to
him)."
