Sir Junaid Khan Sahib,
Assalam Alaikum! After the greeting, you should know that everything is well here and your well-being is desired by God Almighty. Another news is that the first line that I have just written for you in this review, I had learned in class seven while writing letters to my neighbors when we were studying in Fatehpur Chaurasi town of Unnao district of Hasrat Mohani. Your Baba Jaan is from Hardoi, the neighboring district of Unnao, of the Ganga Jamni culture, and on whose Begum Zeenat i.e. your grandmother’s 90th birthday, we met you for the first time immediately after watching the film ‘Maharaj’ and held each other’s hand for a long time. MashaAllah, what a young man you have become! The celebrations of that day were disrupted in such a way that the film which was to be released the next day could only be released now. Well, better late than never..!
