It is sad to see legends go ,but legends have make space for other legends.This is an on going cycle and no one lives forever . We all play our script n go our way to the place that so far no one has come back from.So as long as you live enjoy it as much as you can and get satisfaction .the good deeds give you much higher degree of satisfaction.May the legend rest in peace n I wish him good meetings with other legends who 'll b welcoming him in case they are not being punished for their sins no

What a beautiful song and and equally good acting.Dev ,not only a great actor but also a person of great intellect .Did his masters from

The prestigious Govt College Lahore of the University of Punjab now in Pakistan.Men of his calibre are not born everyday .They are gift from God.However,I feel towards the end

he appeared to be mentally not as alert as he used to be.He was one of those lucky ones who lived up to this ripe old age.RIP
