To woh bachcha tha aur woh nahi hua,” he said.Seema revealed that she coped with the grief by writing letters to the child she lost.“Maine bachche ko apne khat likhe. Maine usse poocha, ‘Tum kyun nahi aaye? Kya aisi kami thi?’ Phir uski taraf se ek jawab bhi likha. Mujhe laga ki apne dukh kisi aur se baantne ke badle kalam aur paper se baantun.”

Woh unhe kachot-ta raha ki maine Seema ke saath galat kiya.

Mujhe kisi aur rishte mein woh gehraai nahi mili. Puri sahab mein woh baat thi ki aap unse kuch bhi share kar sakte the, bina iske ki woh aapko judge karenge,” he concluded.
