While he was undoubtedly talented, I wish our media would give equal coverage to artists from all regions of India, not just focus on Punjabi cinema when tragedies occur.

His dialogue delivery was legendary! "Gaddi Chaldi Hai Chhalla Maarke" was my favorite. The way he could make ordinary situations hilarious was pure genius. Punjabi cinema has lost a gem 💎
