I always felt I love Shefali, but never knew how much I love her or the amount of love I have in my heart for her. When she went inside the Bigg Boss house I realised it. When she was away from me, I missed her at each and every moment. The house was empty without her. I missed her the most when I had a few good things to share and she was not with me. I used to be awake the entire night thinking how to tell her. I used to share with my parents, but I have always shared everything with her and she was not there," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Abiti in una casa indipendente?
