Growing up watching Mahabharat, Pankaj Dheer's Karna was my favorite character. He brought such dignity and depth to the role. End of an era for 90s kids 😢

While it's nice to see celebrities paying respects, I wish the media would give the family some privacy during such difficult times. The focus should be on honoring his legacy, not celebrity spotting.
