Sameer has always been a hard worker. The operation and the case were there before as well. Today, he is dealing with a Bollywood-related drug investigation case, which is why it is getting more and more attention. I give him space when he investigates or conducts operations. I never asked him what happened, how it happened because I respected the confidentiality of his job. I take care of everything at home, that’s why he can concentrate more on his case.”

I will never be the same as I was before I gave birth to ZYDA AND ZIYA. This is me, newbie.

I wonder when I read the miraculous stories of these mothers who do unbelievable things for their children, how are they? Where did they gather that strength from? Today I got it.. it came as two products of being a mother. Without special efforts a mother can do miracles, she can sacrifice everything to see her baby smile just once.”
- His favorite quote is “Hell is empty and all devils are here” by William Shakespeare.
