Itni mehengi bike aur koi ayese hi dost ko dey dey toh aap samajh sakte ho uska dil kitna bada tha."

(I remember when I was new in Bombay, he had a really big bike. I requested him, “Can I take a picture standing next to your bike for my portfolio?” He came downstairs, handed me the keys, and said, “Take photos while riding on the back road.” Such an expensive bike, and he just gave it to a friend like that — you can understand how big-hearted he was.)
