“If he hadn’t given me a chance, I won’t be standing here. He made a big sacrifice, he shifted to a different city for his kids. I love my kids so much but I can’t do that. We were six at that time, and he shifted an entire city and his entire business. It was a big thing. I’ll be grateful forever,” said Pandya.
