“I saved Rs. 20,000 especially to celebrate his birthday. I mortgaged my ancestral land and arranged for Rs. 30,000 more. Over 250 guests were invited and I had also arranged for a good DJ,” Saini recalled.
“I will happily work even for free; all I want is to be remembered as the greatest fan of his that ever lived,” Saini said, who is looking forward to be the caretaker of the farm house from July 10 onwards.
