“He was the undying father figure in the world of theatre and Hindi cinema and lived for 50 years in this profession only because he was disciplined and thorough gentleman, an actor who would bring theatre discipline on the sets of a film shoot too. He worked with me in Krodhi and Khalnayak and we used to call him ‘humble sahib‘ not ‘Hangal sahib‘. A great soul indeed.”
