What Hrithik said
In the tweet, Hrithik said, “My dear Baigji, I will forever be grateful to you for being the teacher I so needed at the start of my journey as an actor. You helped me gain confidence over my speech and delivery ... you were instrumental in shaping the actor in me. For helping me overcome my shyness , at the same time empowering my vulnerability. I was lost. And you helped me find my way . Back when I was only 18years old. I still practice the lessons to this day. I will miss you.”
He concluded by saying, “Rest in peace, my teacher - M.M Baig. My thoughts and prayers for the Baig family. (folded hands emoticon).”
