    Hi..
    It was a nice program...
    Hats off to SHAAN SIKER and TEAM. Good acting by all.
    It was nice to see my nephew Avlon to make his debut in Kuwait.
    And to Rony as you said.. 10 years back when Later Wilfy'am was honored (it was in Indian Embassy) all called him Sheikh Saad. Yesterday you said I dont know today I look like whom. You were a complete Baal Gangadhar Tilak (french beared) after your son put you Tilak.
    It was nice to see your son Jeswin singing.. Wish he will be more fame then his dad. Also best wishes to little Joela Pereira.

    from ROHAN SIKER, urwa
