“You just go ahead and keep on lining up your fan club because I am always going to be there to keep knocking them down.”

“Because I've died many deaths, mostly over you, and I'm still alive. Trying to have a relationship with you is like trying to rescue someone from Hades. Only a fool would keep going back to get a woman who fights him every step of the way.”

“I promise to remain faithfully beside you. I pledge to conquer faults; perfect my character. I vow to deserve you.I declare you're my dream, my fervent wish fulfilled.

"Kishan!"He winked at me. "I didn't think so. Can't blame a guy for trying.”
