Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh died on Thursday night at the age of 92. There is a wave of mourning in the country as well as the film industry. Many celebs including Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt, Chiranjeevi paid tribute to him, while Swara Bhaskar has shared a college anecdote related to Manmohan Singh. When he saved the students protesting against him from being suspended. Chiranjeevi shared a picture with Manmohan Singh and wrote, his visionary and game-changing contribution as Finance Minister and then his highly successful tenure for two consecutive terms as the 13th Prime Minister of India will be recorded in history. I feel proud and fortunate to have served as a Member of Parliament and Minister of State for Tourism during the tenure of a veteran leader like him. I always remember my conversations with him and the inspiration and knowledge I received from him. This is a great loss for our country. My deepest condolences to his family and his countless fans. May your soul rest in peace Manmohan ji. Sunny Deol wrote, I am deeply saddened by the demise of Dr. Manmohan Singh, a visionary leader who played a key role in shaping India’s economic liberalization. His wisdom, integrity and contribution to the development of the nation will always be remembered. Sanjay Dutt wrote, I am deeply saddened by the demise of Dr. Manmohan Singh ji. His contribution to India will never be forgotten. Swara Bhaskar wrote for Manmohan Singh, I remember when Manmohan Singh came to JNU. I was a student. I think Singu Nandigram happened at that time or maybe it was an anti-Naxal operation in Chhattisgarh. There was talk of protests in the campus. There was a lot of security, but the leftist student organizations AISU, DSU hung black flags in the campus and succeeded in stopping the Prime Minister’s speech by sloganeering and showing black flags. Those students were immediately removed and an expulsion notice was given. Swara further said, we heard a few days later that the PMO had called the Vice Chancellor and requested that the students should not be expelled, as they are within their democratic right to protest. There is so much contradiction in today’s Indian politics, leadership and political environment. This is proof of why Manmohan Singh was a great Prime Minister. Anupam Kher paid tribute to him by sharing a video. He also wrote, I am deeply saddened to hear the news of the demise of former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh. I have studied him for one and a half years for the film The Accidental Prime Minister. I feel that I have spent so much time with him. He was a naturally good person. He was very honest, a great economist and very humble. Some people may say that he was not a clever politician. My condolences to his family. Om Shanti. These celebs also paid tribute-
