It is going to be a beautiful read and I wish that a lot of people will learn from your experiences shared."

And Salman is a person who has a heart of gold and one who has been a good friend to me. My book is the story of a middle-class boy from Delhi who becomes an international star. It's also about the successes I've seen, the emotional traumas I've suffered, how I survived the worst of them and found fulfilment in the end."
