Yesterday (18 November 2012) Mumbai gave a tearful farewell to Shiv Sena Supremo, Balashaeb Thackeray among which were scores of Bollywood personalities prominent among them Amitabh Bachchan, Nana Patekar, Riteish Deshmukh and Mahesh Manjrekar.
One of them was noted actor, filmmaker Manoj Kumar. Condoling Thackeray’s death, Kumar recalled some moments of togetherness with him. Both have been friends since 1967. "Our first meeting was at a felicitation function organised by the IMPPA in 1967 at the Taj Hotel,” informed Kumar.
