Madhuri Dixit enjoys at Taj Mahal

Madhuri Dixit seems keen on giving her children an India experience. On Saturday, Mads and her husband Sriram Nene were in Agra along with their children, Arin and Raayan.

Rakesh Nath, Madhuri's manager for long, says, "This is a personal visit for Madhuri and the first time that she has visited the Taj Mahal. She wanted to go there for a long time but it's only now that she could manage it. Of course, it's good because this way both her sons also got to visit the monument."

Madhuri is Shahid’s neighbour

Shahid Kapoor has a new neighbour. And it's none other than Madhuri Dixit. The actress has invested in not one but two sprawling apartments in the same building as Kapoor.
A source revealed that Madhuri has a huge house on the 11th floor. "The two flats have been combined into one," said our source, adding that the shooting real estate prices have made stars invest in properties. "Madhuri Dixit felt that it would be a wise decision to invest in a property though she is happy living with her family in Juhu," said our source. Interestingly, Priyanka Chopra has several flats in the building's other wing too. In fact, a host of not only film, but also television celebrities have a home in the same residential complex.

Legendary Dara Singh: Whatta man!

An article by Ingrid Albuquerque in the October 1976 Stardust paints a picture of a modest and gentle man who loves his wife and kids, and is proud of all he has accomplished with his hard work in the fields of wrestling and films. Here are some excerpts:

“…in films, Dara Singh has been a success. He makes B-grade films under the banner of Dara Productions…and almost all of them have made money. He has done more than a dozen films with Mumtaz, of whom he says: ‘Friends we are still.’
   His heroines these days are mainly Yogita Bali, Padma Khanna and Komilla Wirk. When I asked him why he did not act with the big heroines like Hema, he said: ‘Miss Hema has so far not expressed agreement to work with me.’ I asked him if he had not so far asked her and he said no and he could not ask unless he was sure of her agreement.”

“I asked him to put on any casual clothes for the pictures and he said: ‘Modern pants I have none.’ The wife suggested he should put on the trouser of ‘woh purana suit.‘ So he went in and came out wearing what I presume was that old suit’s trouser.
   The children, all five of them, were very excited…And they kept instructing him—’Pappa, look this side,’ ‘Pappa, smile.’ The wife (they’ve been married for 18 years and he obviously likes her. So do I) had a suggestion too: ‘Kyon ji, patloo seedhi kyon rakhhi hai?’…He took her advice promptly. I got the feeling he takes her advise on all issues.”

“I told the wife he was looking like a film star and she said: ‘Yes, yes, I want him to be that.’ She did not seem to be very happy with his being a wrestler. Though she attends most of his fights, she sits by the ringside with her eyes closed. She only opens them when she hears the crowd cheering. For when the crowd cheers, it means that Dara Singh has won again.”

So sweet he is!

Dara Singh - Arnold's Forerunner, India's Pride

Playbill advertising the World Wrestling Champion

As a world wrestling champion, a movie star and a politician, he foreshadowed Arnold Schwarzenegger. Dara Singh, who turns 80 on November 19, 2008, says after starring in over 120 films that the big screen was never his aspiration.
"I was never interested in doing films. I was pulled into the industry because of the fame I received from wrestling. I was forced to do King Kong (1962) and it became a hit and that started my film career," said Dara Singh .
"But I made it clear to the filmmakers at that time that my main concern was my wrestling career and I would not compromise on that. They agreed. However, after beating American wrestler Lou Thesz in the 1960s and becoming a world champion, I started concentrating on my film career."
Dara Singh said he never wanted to play a negative role.
"The only thing I never wanted to do and have not done so far is playing a villain. I was always adamant to do positive roles and I also made it clear to the filmmakers that I will not accept a villain's role," he said.
Not many know that prior to starring in Babubhai Mistri's King Kong, Dara Singh had done cameos in films like Sangdil (1952), Pehli Jhalak (1955) and Jagga Daku (1959).
Born in 1928 in Amritsar, Punjab, Dara Singh is credited to be the first hero in Bollywood to bring the machismo appeal on-screen with his well-built body.
Commenting upon that, he said: "It felt good to be the first macho actor as my colleagues at that time were very thin and lanky. No one had a body like mine."
Much like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Hollywood, Dara Singh's career, too, rose because of his body, landing him roles in hero-centric films like Rustam-E-Baghdad (1963), Faulad (1963), Hercules (1964), Tarzan Dilli Mein (1965), Sikander-E-Azam (1965), Rustom-E-Hind (1965), and Boxer (1965), among others.
After 1970, he forayed into direction and directed six films in Hindi and Punjabi - Nanak Dukhiya Sab Sansar (1970), Mera Desh Mera Dharam (1973), Bhakti Mein Shakti (1978) and Rustom (1982) among them.
Dara Singh has been immortalized among younger viewers for his portrayal of the monkey king Hanuman in Ramanand Sagar's TV adaptation of the epic Ramayan (1986).
On being asked what keeps him going, he quipped: "One should keep working. Otherwise, you grow old."
Dara Singh was also seen on TV in programmes like Had Kar Di and Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. Right now, though, he doesn't have any plan to go back to the small screen.
"TV demands a lot of time and is too tiring. I won't do any TV now. That way, I am better off playing a grandfather or some other role in a film or two," he said.
Dara Singh still picks up roles that he "feels like doing."
He was also upbeat about new actors working out in the gym for a muscular look.
"New actors want to be like Salman Khan, so they hit the gym for a body like his, which is good for them. At least, they stay fit that way. But they should not consume any body supplements, which in the long run harms the body," he suggested.
So how did Dara Singh maintain his body in his prime?
"In those days, we used to maintain ourselves by a healthy diet that included milk, homemade butter, almonds and chicken soup," he replied.
On his birthday, Dara Singh only planned to spend time with his family. He said he was "content with whatever I have done in life."
"I've done everything in life. In fact, I have also worked with everyone from thespians like Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand and Raj Kapoor to the new league of actors."
 
[Trivia: Dara Singh became the wrestling champion of India before winning the World Championship Crown. Later in life, he, too, dabbled in politics -  though he is not to be confused with another "Dara Singh," a Hindu fundamentalist who adopted the actor's macho name and was, not too long ago, convicted for the murder of some Christian missionaries in India.]

Wrestler-turned-actor Dara Singh hospitalised in critical condition

Mumbai: Wrestler-turned-actor Dara Singh, who is known for his roles in 'King Kong' and 'Faulad', suffered cardiac arrest and was admitted to a city hospital in a 'critical' condition, according to the doctors.

"He is very, very critical. He was brought in an emergency condition to hospital at 5:15 pm. He had suffered cardiac arrest. He is in ICU and we are monitoring his condition hour-by-hour," Dr Ram Narain, Chief Operating Officer at Kokilaben Ambani Hospital in suburban Andheri, told PTI tonight.

Earlier, the 83-years- old actor's son, Vindu, had said that his father was serious.

"He is serious. There is blood clot in his brain or he has suffered heart attack... We are not sure what has happened. We have been told that he is under observation for 24 hours," Mr Vindu said.

The veteran actor played the character of Hanuman in Ramanand Sagar's television series 'Ramayan' and was last seen in Imtiaz Ali's "Jab We Met" in 2007.

Satyamev Jayate: Kidney specialist hits out at Aamir Khan

New Delhi: In the fourth episode of his widely-watched television show Satyamev Jayate, host, interlocutor and activist Aamir Khan spoke about healthcare services in India and the threat of rampant medical negligence. He called on 'victims' to share their trauma. One such victim of alleged medical malpractice was retired Army officer Major Pankaj Rai who lost his wife Seema to what he called a botched kidney transplantation operation.

Although Khan or his guest did not name anyone during the course of the show, but the doctor who was involved in the case, said his legal counsel and the hospital he worked for are preparing to send a legal notice to Khan and the show producers for tarnishing a reputation he had worked hard to build over 25 years of medical service. He accused Khan of lapses in research for the show and Rai of "falsely accusing him of medical negligence" that led to the death of his wife.

Nephrologist R Sreedhara, who worked at the Fortis Hospital in Bangalore, said during a telephone interview to IBNLive that ever since the episode of Satyamev Jayate was aired he has been inundated with calls. He was the consulting physician of Seema Rai when she first came to him in June, 2008 with kidney problems. He said his "harassment" started after her operation in May, 2010 when she went into a septic shock and died.

Dr. Sreedhara has been fighting this battle in several medical bodies of arbitration for the past two years and said he has lost his mental peace due to "the falsehood propagated by Rai against him, his colleague and his hospital" for a high-risk surgery that went wrong due to added complications.

Rai alleged on the show that the doctors whisked his wife off to surgery without his consent and transplanted the pancreas of a cadaver donor, along with a kidney, that was not only an unnecessary medical procedure but one that risked his wife's life as well. But Dr Sreedhara said he had proof to show that Rai had suppressed much of the truth and even lied during the show and that it was him who was being hounded.

"I have posted feedback on the website of Satyamev Jayate, I have sent an email to Aamir khan, I have also posted an open letter to Aamir Khan. I don't know if Aamir Khan has seen my reply or not, but I have attempted to send it to him. Meanwhile I have discussed with attorneys and the hospital and we are in the process of sending a legal notice to the show producers and Aamir Khan because he made a very serious allegation without bothering to do any research. The Karnataka Medical Council has clearly said there was absolutely no medical negligence involved and there was no monetary gain or personal gain to the doctors. How can Aamir Khan say there was medical negligence? Nobody has gotten back to me," Dr Sreedhara said.

Here's Sreedhara's account of the ill-fated surgery

"I am a Nephrologist. I am certified by an American board in internal medicine and nephrology. I worked and practiced in America for nearly 16 years and I came back to India in 2003. In the entire 16 years in America not a single patient had any complaint against me, regarding any negligence. My mental peace in the last two years has been destroyed due to constant harassment, for no fault of my mine. I become emotional when I talk about this. It's very very painful," Dr Sreedhara said.

""We have sent the medical case history to all doctors, to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, to Madras, to Bombay, to America. All of them have said that everything was done properly. Some patients die in surgery due to unforeseen complications like what happened in our case. It is not because we tried to kill her, I mean what do we gain by killing a person?

"I work at the Fortis hospital in Bangalore. The patient, the wife of Mr Pankaj Rai, her name is Seema Rai, came to see me first about June 2008. She was suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure for more than 18-19 years at that time and she had kidney disease. We always discuss about future treatment like dialysis and transplantation. (In this also) we had discussed at length with the patient and her family," he said.

"About a year later, in April 2009, she registered for cadaver kidney transplantation with a government body called Zonal Coordination Committee of Karnataka for Transplantation. Subsequently, her kidney function worsened gradually and in November 2009 we started her on dialysis.

"After starting dialysis, she was doing well. On May 1, 2010, I got a call from the ZCCT, the agency that allocates cadaver kidney organs, that a potential cadaver had been identified and Mrs Rai was one of the potential recipients. On Saturday night she got admitted to Fortis hospital along with her husband and daughter. This was 8:45 at night on Saturday. I was out of town but when I got the call from ZCCT I came back to Bangalore and evaluated her. At that time the patient was also seen by the transplant surgeon. We discussed again the cadaver transplantation procedure. The risks and the benefits were explained to the patient over a period of two years. She was a teacher at an international school, an intelligent person, and she understood," he said.

"The patient's husband gave us the consent"

"At that time the surgeon also explained to the patient that in cadaver transplant situation the simultaneous transplantation of kidney as well as pancreas was better in the long term, also the immediate post operative risks are higher in surgery. The patient and her family had a lot of questions which answered. They wanted to speak with their relative in New York so the doctors came out of the room. The patient's husband said 'Dr Saab we will proceed with simultaneous kidney and pancreas surgery.' This was around 1030 - 1045 in the night on Saturday. At that time the surgeon was present, the nurses were present. Mr Rai directly told me in person that 'we will proceed with simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation.' Even at that time I told the husband that 'Mr Rai your wife had registered only for kidney transplantation in the past one year, pancreas was only suggested to you today. Till the patient is taken to the operating room, you can change your decision and let us know. Kidney transplantation will be done and there are no additional charges for pancreas," Dr Sreedhara said.

What the Rais had to say on the show

"It's not as if people can't live with dialysis. They called us from the hospital to tell us that a donor was available. We had her admitted to the hospital on the doctors' advice. We were amazed that a day prior to surgery the doctors said we could transplant her pancreas as well. Have you heard of such a thing? They kept saying there's no risk. But Seema said she wasn't prepared for this," Rai told Khan during the May 27 episode of Satyamev Jayate. "The doctors said we could wait till the morning to get a cardiologist to take a look at her," he said.

Rai's daughter Abha said at around 5 AM a nurse came in and claimed she had to take her mother for a routine check up and asked her to sign a form. They insisted that the hospital authorities had not taken their permission prior to the surgery.

Post-operation complications

Rai said he was asked to arrange for blood as the doctors said his wife could die on the operating table. He said the doctors estimated that the blood loss would be 390 ml. According to Rai, the doctors transplanted 119 units or approximately 60 litres of blood during the three post-operative days.

What Dr Sreedhara had to say

According to Dr Sreedhara, in the three days post the operation, the patient developed a severe bleeding condition called Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation or DIC. "In DIC we give blood as well as blood products like plasma. We gave the patient 33 units of blood which roughly amounts to 13 litres of blood. Mr Rai is promoting this falsehood that platelet is also same as blood, 1 unit of platelet is about 50 ml not 500 ml as he has calculated so it's like comparing apples with oranges."

What went wrong?

Dr Sreedhara said that on the night of operation "the patient was stable throughout the night and she was evaluated by myself and transplant surgeon and the anaesthesia team for a preoperative evaluation she was stable and found fit for surgery. The operation started and the kidney transplantation was done first. I went to the OT just to see how she was doing. She was fine and the kidney, as soon as it was transplanted, started making urine. I came out of the OT and assured Mr Rai that the kidney transplantation was over and she was doing well and we were going ahead with the pancreas transplantation. He thanked me."

This contradicts with Rai's statement that he was not aware of the surgery being done on his wife and had not given consent for it.

"By post operative day three she was awake and responsive and we were about to remove the ventilator. Unfortunately on the evening of day three she developed high fever and she went into septic shock on the fourth day. Patients with diabetes or kidney failure have a high risk of infection, plus when we give all these powerful immuno-suppressive medicines, the risk of infections increase further. Plus she had received a lot of blood and blood products because of bleeding," he said.

"During the entire hospitalization Mr Rai was very thankful and in fact he told me several times, 'Dr Saab how much you are struggling to save my wife, how can I thank you?' After the patient passed away I called them several times to express my condolence. I also told the emergency room doctors to evaluate his daughter and give her some medication to calm her down. Next day again morning he called me and said 'Dr Saab please help us to get the body', I called the hospital administration and told them please resolve their bills immediately. After that I never heard from him. Before the surgery he used to be so friendly."

The legal battle

On May 30, 2010, Rai lodged a police complaint alleging murder. About a week after this he filed a medical negligence complaint at the Karnataka Medical Council. Subsequently he complained to the Health Department, the Human Rights Commission, the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and held press conferences.

"On Satyamev Jayate, Rai said he never gave consent. But when he lodged a complaint with the police and the Karnataka Medical Council, two to three weeks after the death of the patient, he never mentioned the issue of informed consent. If somebody has operated on a patient without consent, won't that be your first complaint? It's only in afterthought that he's saying that they didn't give informed consent. The Karnataka Medical Association did a very thorough investigation over one year and conducted a lot of hearings," he said.

According to Sreedhara, the KMC completed their enquiry within one year and they came to the unanimous decision in June 2011 that there was no medical negligence on the part of the doctors. Rai appealed against the decision to the Medical Council of India and that appeal is still ongoing. He also complained to the Lokayukta against the Health Department.

Rai's complaint that the hospital did not have the facilities for multi-organ transplant was entirely baseless, Dr Sreedhara said.

An official spokesperson for the Satyamev Jayate team refused to comment on the matter.

Dr Sreedharan has accused Khan's team of not doing their homework by getting both sides of the story, as a result of which his integrity is under question. And Rai has lost his wife to what he termed gross negligence. The case is still being examined, which makes conclusions premature.

Film Review | Bol Bachchan

 

Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Asin, Prachi Desai, Archana Puran Singh, Krushna Abhishek

Director: Rohit ShettyReleased on 6 July 2012.  Director Rohit Shetty, as he switches gears noisily from high-purpose action (Singham) to scraping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel comedy, pays homage to Hindi cinema of the 1970s and 1980s, but it’s all unalloyed Golmaal (hodgepodge) that only goes round (gol) in circles and delivers no goods (maal) worth the name. Bol Bachchan borrows its basic premise from the Hrishikesh Mukherjee classic, Golmaal – the story of a man who is forced to rustle up a non-existent mustachioed twin to keep his difficult-to-please employer in good humour – and twists it completely out of recognizable shape with a stretched yarn that has neither the charming spontaneity nor the delicious subtlety of the original. Along the way, Bol Bachchan alludes to Amitabh Bachchan starrers likeDeewar, Parvarish, Kasme Vaade and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. The Big B connection is laid on thick right at the outset with a song-and-dance prelude that has the male leads, Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan, match steps with the one-time one-man industry.  “I’m not in the film, only my name is,” the megastar helpfully tells the camera. That’s the problem with Bol Bachchan at every level – it only skims the surface of all its sundry inspirations. It rips off a Hrishida film but the legendary touch of the man who made the delectable Golmaal (besides other fine comedies) is conspicuous by its absence.  Rohit Shetty has done his share of Golmaal-mongering over the years and made pots of gold in the bargain. With Bol Bachchan, the idea clearly is to quickly mop up Rs 100 crore at the box office before the audience can cotton on to the ploy. Do narrative niceties really matter in such a scenario? So there.  Abbas Ali (Abhishek Bachchan) is the Ramprasad Sharma of Bol Bachchan. But he is neither a nerd nor a nice guy in the Amol Palekar mould.  Out of work and down on luck, the Delhi boy and his little sister, Sania (Asin Thottumkal), relocate to Ranakpur, a village that looks like it would rather be a dusty city.  In the so-called village, Abbas breaks a temple lock to save a drowning boy. To ward off the ire of the devotees, he assumes a false identity.  Now known as Abhishek Bachchan, he lands a job with the local feudal lord, the aforementioned Prithviraj Raghuvanshi, a muscle-flexing marauder who plays Frisbee with human bodies and has violent bust-ups with a cussed cousin and his henchmen to protect his turf.  Prithviraj’s writ runs in Ranakpur. He detests liars and digs English as it’s spoken in his backyard. ‘English is a funny language: pineapple has neither pine nor apple,” he says, pointing to a birthday cake.  That’s true of the film itself. Bol Bachchan is a funny film where all the fun comes at the expense of the film. Each time Abbas’ bluff is in danger of being called, he cooks up a new story to save his skin. He talks an ageing mujra dancer, Zohra (Archana Puran Singh), into standing in as his mother when his boss insists on visiting him.  He then spins a yarn about the existence of an effeminate Muslim twin only to have the fictitious guy being promptly hired by Prithviraj as kathak tutor for the latter’s sister Radhika (Prachi Desai). Abhishek Bachchan performs competently in the double role. His portrayal of the gay dancer is amusing. He could have done better in the climax scene though. Ajay Devgan is in his element as Prithviraj, the strongman with the soft heart. He is good in the action sequences. Asin performs ably. Prachi Desai does alright in a small role. Krishna Abhishek, whom many viewers might know from the small screen, is very good in his comedy timing and expressions. Asrani delivers in a short role. Neeraj Vohra is also very good. Archana Puran Singh elicits laughter from the audience. Amitabh Bachchan provides star value in a special appearance. The rest offer average support.

Starlet Laila Khan & kin killed says key suspect

Laila Khan'

Step-father hired sharpshooters for the job

Mumbai/Jammu, July 5

Nearly a year after a Pakistan-born Bollywood starlet linked to an alleged terrorist went missing, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has thrown up a shocking revelation that Laila Khan and four members of her family were brutally gunned down outside Mumbai as part of a hit job.

According to the J&K Police, Kishtwar resident Parvez Ahmad Tak, who was married to Khan's mother Saleena has confessed to the crime.

“Tak has confessed to his involvement along with four more persons in the killing. He is a hardcore criminal with previous crime records and he had been hiding in Nepal and we nabbed him when he came to Jammu for a short stay,” Garib Dass, DIG Doda-Ramban Range, said.

However, Dass said it was difficult to arrive at a conclusion as the bodies are yet to be found. “Investigations are underway. It would be premature to say anything right now. Unless we get the bodies, we cannot say anything. We are working on other leads too," he said.

“The investigation into the case was expedited after the recovery of a Mitsubishi Outlander car in May this year. The vehicle was recovered from the house of Tak, who had brought it to Kishtwar all the way from Mumbai.

Now, the J&K Police is likely to investigate the case jointly with the Mumbai police,” said sources. Police sources said Tak and his associated had hired sharpshooters for the job. “Although Tak has claimed the family was murdered for property worth crores which they owned, we cannot rule out other possibilities. Nothing can be established until the property documents, bank transactions and other related evidences are scrutinised,” said Dass. “Tak has claimed that he could identify the place where family was killed and later disposed off but he does not exactly know the name of the place,” he said.

A team of investigators from Mumbai is now in Kishtwar to question Tak, Mumbai’s Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Himanshu Rai, said.

“We will extend full cooperation to the Mumbai police,” said IG of Jammu Zone Dilbagfh Singh. Investigators have zeroed in on a bungalow in the pilgrimage centre of Igatpuri outside Mumbai which was allegedly frequented by Tak, sources said.

Laila’s step-dad a shady figure

Twists & Turns

n January 2012: Laila Khan’s (in pic) biological father Nadir Shah Patel filed a missing person's complaint with the Mumbai Police.

n Patel pointed a finger at Kishtwar resident Parvez Ahmad Tak, once married to Laila’s mother, and one Asif Shaikh

n Tak was arrested by the J&K Police in May after a car registered in Laila’s name was found in his Kishtwar house.

Laila khan’s step father, Parvez Ahmad Tak is also involved in another case of cheating and looting a Punjab- based businessman. Garib Das DIG Doda Ramban Range said a cheating case been registered against Tak with the Hoshiarpur police station.

Punjabi actor Satish Kaul leading a miserable life

VETERAN PUNJABI ACTOR SATISH KAUL, 75, HAS TO BORROW MONEY TO PURCHASE NECESSARY MEDICINES FOR HIS SURVIVAL

LUDHIANA - 30 June, 2012: For ailing veteran Bollywood actor AK Hungal, superstar Amitabh Bachchan came as an angel. 

Satish Kaul in a hotel room in Ludhiana on Friday. However, Satish Kaul, who was considered as the Amitabh Bachchan of the Punjabi film industry, has been waiting for his messiah to bail him out of his miserable life.
The veteran Punjabi actor, Kaul, 75, has been leading a miserable life in a small hotel near the bus stand as he has no place of his and there is no one of his family to look after him.
Many a time, he has to borrow money from the people to purchase necessary medicines for his survival.
All the money that he had earned during his career has been exhausted virtually, leaving him with a scanty bank balance.
He had started an acting school - Satish Kaul School of Acting - with a desire to teach so that they do not have to face hardships if they plan to go to Mumbai to work in Bollywood. It could be called an irony of fate that the school was shut down as the rent deed expired.

Kaul, with his frail memory, could not even remember the day he separated from his wife.
He just received an assurance from chief minister Parkash Singh Badal regarding help. “I do not blame him, as he is a busy man and may have forgotten about my pain. Even people who have watched my movies, don’t remember me, let alone the chief minister,” he rued.
He said people make a hero out of a person, when he is at the peak of his career and forgets him as soon as he witnesses a downfall in his career.
Kaul was born on September 26, 1937. He has acted in around 300 films that include Hindi and Punjabi movies. He has acted with Bollywood superstars - Dalip Kumar, Dev Anand and Dharminder among others. He had done his diploma Institute of India, Mumbai. His father Mohan Lal Kaul was the first director general of All-India Doordarshan. His first Punjabi film was “Morni” with actress Radha Saluja. Some of his most “Lachhi”, “DO Posti”, “Veera”, “Rano Dhee Rani”, “Bhulekha”, “Vehra Lambra Da” and “Wohti Hath Sotti”. “Prem Parbat”, “Warrant”, “Karma”, “Gunaho Ka Faisla” d “C d ” l Hindi films in which he has acted.
Satish Kaul was awarded the lifetime achievement award in 2011. A social organisation - Ludhiana Citizen Council - has taken an initiative to help Kaul. Thilh bid memorandum to additional deputy commissioner Neeru Katyal Gupta to provide him a room in senior citizen’s home so that he can live his old life gracefully.
According to Darshan Arora, chairman of the council, and senior vice-president Ashok Dhir, Kaul has devoted his life for the uplift of Punjabi films. They also urged people to support the renowned actor.
On being asked about what was the most memorable role he had played during his life, he said it was the role at present that he is playing in his real life. “I am broken, but not down. This role has taught me a lot as I am alone with no one around but still leading a respectable life”he added.
