AV malformation hai, uske bawajood chal rahe hain. (I'm out here breaking my bones every day - ribs are fractured, I'm working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, there's an aneurysm in the brain, yet I'm still working. There's also an AV malformation, and still, I'm carrying on,' he said.Continuing to explain, he said, "All of this is going on in my life. Aur jahan unka mood satka, woh aadha humara leke chala gaya. Ye younger age mein hota toh theek tha, phirse kama lete. Ab wapis se (And the moment their mood soured, they would take away half of what I had. Had this happened when I was younger, it would've been fine - I could've earned it all back.
