Poore tareeke se chalu hua aur dekhiye upar wale ki kripa dekhiye, mauka bhi kaisa mila. Aakhiri over mein aisa situation aaya jo mai imagine bhi nai kr paya. Aur kya batau I am speechless."
Well, Hardik definitely proved that every person has good and bad times, but it is the attitude of gratitude that matters and can change anyone's storyline.
