Quotes
Hema Malini
Veteran actor and politician, and BJP MP
“He was a loving and wonderful human being. Whenever I was not around, he would spend time in Lonavala. When I went to Mathura or Delhi for work, we used to adjust our schedules, and whenever I returned, he would come back and spend time with me at my house in Mumbai. That is how we have been happily living, along with our grandchildren. Sometimes, he would stay at Ahana's house as well. Together, we have shared so many beautiful moments. He has been a part of our existence, and suddenly, for the past month, he is no longer there. It is very difficult to come to terms with this. Whenever I had to make a decision, I would ask him.”

“It was a companionship that stood the test of time... It has been terrible because for a month we were struggling when he was not well. We were constantly trying to cope with whatever was happening in the hospital. We were all there-l, Esha, Ahana, Sunny, Bobby-all together. In the past, there had been instances when he went to the hospital and car back home fine. We thought iss baar bhi aa jayenge. To personally see him sink was very difficult. Nobody should have to go through this kind of situation.”
