Upar ja ke waha bhi hasaye sab ko, khush rahe shanti se rahe. Thank you so much.” (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. They all made us laugh and I am sure in heaven too they are making everyone laugh. Rest in peace. Thank you!
