Legendary actor and filmmaker Manoj Kumar breathed his last today. He has left behind a tremendous legacy through his quality of work. His co-workers from the film industry spoke fondly about his greatness on the day of his passing away. Waheeda Rehman, who did a string of superhits, has huge compliments to pay Manoj Kumar. “I was unfortunately never directed by him,” she said. “I think his achievements as a filmmaker far exceeded his career as an actor. Let me tell you, as an actor he was a superhit. My films with him were all successful: Neel Kamal, Patthar Ke Sanam… In Aadmi, where I was the heroine, he got to share screen space with his idol Dilip Kumar.” “There will never be another Manoj Kumar,” said Rakhee Gulzar, who worked with the legend in Beimaan and Santosh. “His dedication to making patriotic films was fierce.

Sara Ali Khan, daughter of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, frequently faces criticism on social media for various reasons.
