Gather ’round, Bollywood buffs, for I, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, bring you the latest from Tinseltown with my usual flair for the dramatic and a sprinkle of sarcasm.
The film industry recently paid its final respects to the legendary actor-director Manoj Kumar, whose prayer meeting was held on a somber Sunday evening at a swanky Mumbai hotel. Now, if you’re wondering why the who’s who of Bollywood was there, it’s because Manoj Kumar wasn’t just anyone; he was the man who practically trademarked patriotism in film. Talk about leaving a legacy!
On Saturday, Kumar’s last rites were conducted with full state honors. Picture this: his mortal remains, draped in the tricolor, were taken to Juhu’s Pawan Hans crematorium, where a 21-gun salute echoed through the air. Of course, Bollywood never misses a chance for a dramatic send-off, even if it involves cannons! 🎇
For those who need a refresher, this cinematic titan took his final bow at 87 years old, breathing his last at Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital. Known affectionately as ‘Bharat Kumar’, he was synonymous with films that made us all feel a little more Indian, one monologue at a time. 🇮🇳
The man battled liver cirrhosis for quite some time, and as his health took a nosedive, he was admitted to the hospital on February 21, 2025. A fighter till the end, folks!
Snapshot Parade: Manoj Kumar’s Tribute in 10 Pictures
The prayer meet was a celebrity filled affair, naturally. Manoj Kumar’s wife, Shashi, graced the event, looking dignified as ever. Aamir Khan made an appearance, possibly contemplating his next socially conscious project. 🎭
Sonu Nigam, the voice that serenades our souls, was spotted, while the ever-dapper Ranjeet paid his respects. Subhash Ghai and his wife, Mukta, were also in attendance, perhaps plotting their next big film over canapés.
Jaya Bachchan arrived, adding her gravitas to the gathering, and if you thought the event couldn’t get more melodious, Udit Narayan was there too. 🎶
Director Anil Sharma was seen mingling, and Johnny Lever brought a touch of humor, even to such a poignant occasion. Neel Nitin Mukesh turned up to honor the departed legend, proving that even the next-gen knows whose footsteps to follow.
