Everybody always tells the real story, it's just that it’s their version of it. I would like everybody to align with the versions that they present but on a simpler note. You always wish for people to tell the truth because I believe in the truth and I have always said that life is about simple things. Love, truth – these are the things that matter. If we can lead our lives by those standards, then society as a whole and the world would be a better place.
