Hema Malini ji and Anil Kapoor attending shows respect for a veteran. But I wish more young stars had shown up. Still, it's a sad loss for the industry. 🙏
Honestly, I find it a bit performative when celebrities show up only after someone passes. Where were they when Nihalani ji was alive and needed support? Just my two paise.
Pahlaj Nihalani may have been controversial as CBFC chief, but as a producer he gave us classics. Respect for the departed soul. Also, Shatrughan Sinha looking dapper as always! 💪
It's always nice to see the old guard like Hema Malini, Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff pay respects. They have real class. May his soul rest in peace.
Another legend gone. Pahlaj Nihalani was a pioneer in many ways. But I can't help feeling sad that Bollywood only remembers people after they're gone. We should celebrate our veterans more while they're still with us. 😔
