I’d grown up watching Ulta Pulta and Flop Show. He was a unique talent who did satire effortlessly. The saddest part is that his new Punjabi film, Powercut, in which he launches his son, is due for release today and he won’t be there to see it. We did many events together. I hadn’t met him in over eight months, but now I wish I had.

I didn’t work with him a lot, but we shared mutual respect. We have lost a live cartoonist — yes that’s what I call him. Just as there are daily cartoons in newspapers, his take on every day events is the same, only he is vocal about them.
