This is what it means, take a decision, marry and then turn your spouse to the model you saw in your dream. The grass is greener on the other side na person water am. The picture on the left is us as raw materials taken in 2010 and the picture on the right is our recently captured picture of the future we saw in 2010, do you understand?” He wrote in part.

According to her, she called her husband immediately to ask if he felt anything sensual while kissing the actress but he waved it off as nothing.
