When people mingled with him, he would think Yeh to Bada Kamal Ka Bacha Hai..”

That's when I decided to focus on what came naturally to me – writing. Then I met Javed who shared the same passion for writing and we did some fantastic work together, which I am very proud of. We've had great runs and great success, challenging industry norms along the way. It feels wonderful that our journey is being documented for future generations and I hope it inspires them to do their best without being confined to society's prescribed roles.”
