But they even didn't get any acceptance and love from their own family and the society...... They showed the world the true form of sacrifice and selflessness......."

Now the eyes of the occupants filled with excitement along with the young prince, as it want the answers for the question..... whom are that unluckiest persons whom sacrificed so much.....
