God bless and the best to you! Mere time mein naheen ayeen aap! KyonIJ (You didn't come in my time! Why) lol," Rishi, 65, tweeted.

Thrissur-based Priya, who learns music and dance, is making her acting debut with the Malayalam film "Oru Adaar love". She got noticed when via a short clip from the film's song "Manikya malaraya", and it went viral.
