Upasana Makati

Balasaheb Thackeray an 86 year old cartoonist turned politician and a man of great valour breathed his last breath today. We speak to telly celebs about the man and this day...

Aastha Chaudhary: RIP Balasaheb... I am terribly pained to hear that the Lion is dead.

Mohan Kapur: The Father of Mumbai & entire Maharashtra has passed... RIP

Yashashri Masurkar: He was a lovely artist ans I'll pray for his soul to rest in peace. However I am really angry about the chaos. There are thousands of Mumbaikars who will agree with me. Every one has to die one day and his death is a personal issue for his near and dear ones. Why a bandh? Will he come back if we shut down everything? Wish I could ask Balasaheb himself...

Sukirti Kandpal: Ek tha Tiger and nobody can define the life and ways of a tiger. They just leave behind their grace and magnificence. Mr. Bal Thackeray I believe was really a tiger in every sense. He meant every word he said. He always stood by what he said. And he lived like a tiger fearlessly and silently knowing he owns his jungle. I think to find a straightforward man with guts to speak his mind speaks volumes about his character. Hats off to the man.

Chhavi Pandey: Balasaheb Thackeray- Is the man who can't die, he'll live in our hearts and vision..

Mahesh Shetty: RIP Balasaheb Thackerey!!! The Man who changed Maharashtra politics forever is no more! He was a lion amongst men! You could disagree with him...hate his politics.. But you could never ignore him!! He gave the term "son of a soil" a new meaning!! He gave the son of the soil- a name.. a voice.. a reason to live!!! The roar of this tiger will be remembered forever!!

Hiten Tejwani: It is really sad to hear about his sad demise...RIP Balasaheb ...

Kushal Tandon: I am saddened by the news of Bala saab's demise. He will always be admired for his strength and conviction, the tallest amongst Maharashtra's politicians. My condolences to the family. It's a great loss to the country.

Nia Sharma: Well, he surely was a great personality for the people of Maharasthra. We had already got an off from shooting on the speculations of his death. Now it has been announced. It will be an off again tomorrow.

Well said Yashashri Masurkar...

Only people like you, who live in Mumbai, will know the true facts...Since you have seen what is happening with your own eyes...The rest of us can only see things through media propaganda and white-wash...

Glad IF has reported from many diiferent point of views...

Well firstly I want to ask India-Forums dat y u ppl go and ask such questions to actors who originally don't belong to dis city/state? Most of the TV actors are having 0-0.10% knowledge about politics or political parties/leaders.

Secondly, plz provide some latest news paper cuttings & YOUTUBE links to Yashashri Masurkar, as that poor soul is unaware dat this close was not arranged in fact most of the ppl willingly closed down their activities for their beloved leader.
