    that popular anymore because of his appearance which changed due to his life
    tragedies.
     In my opinion he is kid soul who doesn’t deserve any hate but happiness.
     He has supported many charities and foundations and took parts of fundraising
    evenings.

    should be as happy as we were when we watched his films.

     He has been through a lot. He had his ups and downs. But he never gave up,
    however he has thought about that sometime.
