B’wood loses friend, philosopher and guide

There were reasons why Bollywood celebrities queued up to call on Bal Thackeray when the Shiv Sena supremo lay in a critical condition before he breathed his last Saturday. He was always with them, for them in their times of need. With some, he shared an endearing relationship, and with some, one of love-and-hate.

‘When I was flown in to Mumbai from Bangalore in semi-conscious state after Coolie accident, it was his ambulance that took me to Breach Candy Hospital,’ Amitabh recently shared on Twitter.

‘When I fought for my life after Coolie accident, he came to visit me in hospital, with a cartoon he had drawn - Yamraj defeated! Yamraj - God of Death, defeated by me... wish I was as proficient a cartoonist as he, I would wish to draw that for him,’ posted Big B, adding how Thackeray considered Jaya Bachchan as his 'bahu'.
