He was my favourite and yesterday I was shocked to see him on TV..how could someone let himself go like that..

Sandhya September 23, 2014  

I like him too...loved his Kalyug and Junoon and Vijetha. His whole family has got the tendency to put on weight. He started bloating after he lost his wife, I heard. They were very close!

I think I added one more point to Shashi's life here, sm!
