00:00I am fine. I am not feeling well.

00:03And for Manoj Kumar, more than me, the audience knows.

00:09The work that he has done, I don't think any actor or director has done it in India.

00:16And it is difficult to do.

00:18But all the films that he has made, all the films are on patriotism.

00:25I saw his first film, Shaheed, in which he played Bhagat Singh.

00:33He used to inspire us.

00:35And when he came, we were almost together.

00:38I, Manoj Kumar, Dharmender, we came to Bollywood at the same time.

00:43So we became friends with him.

00:45A lot of friendship.

00:47And this friendship never broke.

00:50Now, Shashi Bhabhi told me that he had been in the hospital for many days.

00:56So I said, how did he talk to me on WhatsApp?

00:59He used to send me images, songs, poems.

01:04How are you, Bish? How are you, Bishu?

01:07I am fine.

01:09We thought it was good.

01:11He didn't understand.

01:13He said, no, he has been suffering for many years.

01:17He didn't let us feel it.

01:19Once I came to meet him.

01:21Kunal told me to bring uncle upstairs.

01:24So we sat in the bedroom, watched TV, chatted.

01:31He used to praise us.

01:33Bishwajit, your song after 20 years, Kahi Deep Jale Kahi Dil.

01:38That is the best.

01:40I used to say, no, who was that?

01:42The song from Naina Barse is the best.

01:44We were in a suspense film together.

01:46He used to say, your song from Kohra is very good.

01:50I used to say, your song from Gumdum is good.

01:54So we used to talk about all this.

01:56Like brothers.
