It was something which they have waited for more than anybody else. It was very emotional and the second was when I walked with Jaydon. The fact that Jaydon was holding my hand and living this moment with me, that sense of having him with me while walking the aisle, it was magical and beautiful. The mangalsutra, sindoor moments were very emotional. Also, when Jaydon performed for me and just to see him so happy, it was something which I’ll never forget till the end of my life."
