The superstar actor then captioned the said post as, ‘An era has just passed away .. his humility, his great resolve , his vision and his determination to accomplish the very best for the Nation, ever a pride ..’ .

Amitabh Bachchan added, ‘It was my greatest honour to have had an opportunity and privilege to work together towards common humanitarian causes ..A very sad day .. my prayer’.
