Very Very Congratulations as a father for your new born SON. Once time you came to our city KOLKATA (probably on 2012) and our Bengali media ABP Ananda gave you honor as One of the YEAR FAMOUS PERSON and that time our Bengali Boy (Former Indian Captain) Mr. Sourav Ganguly introduced at stage. You also went to 'SUNDARBAN'(Asia's biggest Mangrove Jungle) tour for a day long.
