Gangu .. meri jaan .. my alter ego, belongs to you Sanjay sir. Thank you for believing in me, so I could believe in myself. I will forever be in your debt! I’ve always said you make the world believe in magic – and if on this journey I can be even half as hard-working, half as dedicated and driven as you – I will consider myself very fortunate!”.
