Kamal Haasan, Chiranjeevi, Sunny Deol, Manoj Bajpayee and other film stars on Friday condoled the demise of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, remembering him as a visionary and a great statesman.
Singh, the architect behind India’s economic reforms, passed away on Thursday night at Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at the age of 92.
He served as the prime minister from 2004 to 2014. As the nation’s finance minister in 1991, he played a pivotal role in shaping India’s economic framework, earning widespread recognition in global financial and economic circles.
In a post on X, actor-politician Haasan said the nation has lost “one of its finest sons”.
“India has lost one of its most eminent statesmen and scholars. The passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh marks the end of an era in Indian polity. A man of quiet dignity, he reshaped the nation through his visionary economic and social policies.
