Among those mourning the death of painter MF Husain, hailed as India’s Picasso, is superstar Amitabh Bachchan.He remarked, “MF Hussain, artist, painter, friend ... passes away! Sad, very sad! Many of his works and gifts adorn my home.” Bachchan tweets, “Hussain's best painting gift to me..a Hanuman with 'jadi buti' flying .. given to me in Breach Candy Hospital, during Coolie episode.” Who knows, maybe it was this famous ‘Sanjeevani booti’ that saved the star’s life all those years ago?
That’s not all.
Reveals the Big B, “Another special painting he did for me.. translated my poem I wrote in hospital, on canvas ... very special and most endearing!!”
