It’s a very difficult phase. You have to experience it to know the pain. I can’t find words to describe the pain I went through. Please, let’s not talk about this. I miss Manisha,
I can barely hold back the tears when I see what she’s doing to herself. Maybe I don’t have the right to say anything about her today.
