The senior BJP leader also shared his experience of encounter with the gifted actor to which he said, "I had occasion to meet him some years back during the screening of filmmaker Mani Shankar’s film “Knockout” in Delhi. And subsequently, too, his performances in other films have greatly impressed me over the years". Advani showed his grief and said his passing away is a great loss to the world of cinema.
