Upar jaakar bhi sabko hasa rahe honge. Khush rahe, shanti se rahe. Bahut bahut dhanyawad." (There is nothing left to say. My life has ended now. Everyone prayed for him, doctors also tried their best, we all tried our best. He made us all laugh and I am sure in heaven too he is making everyone laugh. Rest in peace. Thank you!
