Randeep Hooda concluded his visit by saying, “I was scared of going back to school, not wanting to be treated as special among all these special persons. I’m glad that I did. It was a humbling experience. My best friend, Sandeep Punia, was not there so the reunion was incomplete, but I faced the angels and demons of my childhood and it was a cathartic experience,” he smiled, confiding that he also met his school sweetheart, Charlene Shackleton, a former beauty queen, and spent time chatting with her husband and kids.
