He opened the door of the car saying that the bomb would explode. I ran to the road to catch them and people thought that Parveen had a fight with her boyfriend. Then I put them in a taxi and brought them home. He was also afraid that Mr. amitabh bachchan was going to kill him. Once she went to Mehboob studio with me, saying she wanted to apologize to him.
