Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], Aprill 4 (ANI): Actor Santosh Kaushik remembered the late actor and director Manoj Kumar, who passed away at the age of 87.

In a conversation with ANI, he said, 'I have never seen such a man in my life. I have been associated with him 35-37 years...guru-shishya parampara se bandha hua hu mere guru hai', ' said Kaushik, assistant of veteran actor for past 35 years.

'Such people are not born again and again...'ek alag hi shaksiyat the'..'

On the demise of legendary star Manoj Kumar, actress Poonam Dhillon said, '...He made the most beautiful films, and all were family films that all can sit and watch together and take inspiration from.'

Manoj Kumar, affectionately known as 'Bharat Kumar' for his portrayal in patriotic films, left an indelible mark on Indian cinema with films that inspired nationalism and pride. His passing has left a void in the film industry, with leaders, colleagues, and fans mourning his loss.

He breathed his last on Friday morning at the age of 87.

Kumar's son, Kunal Goswami, confirmed that his last rites will be performed tomorrow at 11 am at Pawan Hans in front of Nanavati Hospital in Vile Parle.

Kumar's death was attributed to cardiogenic shock following an acute myocardial infarction. Additionally, he had been battling decompensated liver cirrhosis for several months, which worsened his health. (ANI)
