However, one day my first wife came to our doorstep, asking me for money for our son. Hira found out and to my surprise, she said she is willing to accept Nayyer as her own. I couldn't believe how big of a heart she had."
Mani further added that the event was not reported at the time because there were no bloggers and the paparazzi was not as active.
