03:35So they gave me a bit of a brush.
03:37Because I was working.
03:39I felt like that.
03:41So Maala Ji said, no, no, don't go away, don't go away.
03:45You're going to make a first time for this.

03:57She called me as my wife.
03:58And someone else introduced me.
04:03I used to call my wife.

04:18What do you want your wife?
04:19Do you wear it?
04:20Do you wear it.
04:21Because on that on the other side of your wife is not a dress.
04:23It was a big place to introduce myself to my brother.
04:27I never told myself that we are a hydrosar.
04:31In the past, it is not like that.
04:34That's why I really like my old age.
04:38The heroes are so good.
04:43I have gained a lot of love from the industry.

06:19I thought, Subhaj Ji worked in a picture.
06:24She was in her neighborhood.
06:26And she saw her beautiful picture.
06:29I made her hair in a test, so the girl works very well.
06:33So she told me to show it to me.
06:35So I had a picture with her.

07:48She said to me,
07:49She said to me,
07:50I'm very happy.
