Kaafi accha lag raha hai ki bohot kuch seekhne ko mil raha hai aur future ke liye kaafi accha rahega mere liye (He's my idol too, so when I met him for the first time, it felt really special. We had many conversations, and he explained a lot of things to me. I'm learning so much from him, and I believe it will be very helpful for my future)."
