A lot of brilliant geniuses go abroad to pursue careers, but now there is a lucky coincidence that India's own brain Nirav Modi can come back to India with a welcome coin from the UK. Some prison authorities are already enthusiastic about making Nirav Modi's historic comeback to India. He hopes that after spending a few days in the cell, Nirav Modi will guide him on who to bottle and why to get money for the renovation of the jail. However, it is not right for a talent like Nirav to sit in jail. If such talented people are in jail, nothing will happen more than heroines like Jacqueline Fernandez can get some gifts. Instead Nirav's talent should be utilized at the national level. By keeping Nirav in jail, if he has ponds or gardening, his earnings will not even cover the bank&#
