Thank you ma'am, I welcome you to my country, I welcome you to my country. layi (Be it India or Pakistan, for us everything is the same. The borders are drawn by politicians, but the one who speaks Punjabi, whether he lives this side or the other side, we are all the same. On my show, I warmly welcome both Indians and Pakistanis. Please share a round of applause for this girl).
