Shyam Panchal (Modi’s Family) @SSPanch8: That’s great brother… One needs courage to show his or her poor past, from where they came… Nowadays, people avoid revisiting their ancestral home back then which can be a century old where they or their parents and grandparents have lived life fully… Thank you
