“I think this is the first time I am saying (these things) – not having anything like alcohol in my system at all since she passed – in an interview.”

“Sometimes when I’m invited for some functions, I get myself knocked up. I just look at people knowing fully well that, they don’t know I know by the way they stare at me. ‘Should I just tell her sorry?’”
