My Father wrote his auto biography in 4 volumes .. his last writing work .. and said after i finish this i will fall ill .. he did!!' he added.

Popularly known as Uncle Pai, Anant Pai -- the popular writer of Amar Chitra Katha and Tinkle comics -- died after a massive heart attack yesterday at the age of 81.

Madhur Bhandarkar tweeted his condolences: 'RIP Anant Pai...Amar Chitra Kathas are the fondest memory for millions of Indians.'

Kunal Kohli tweeted: 'Uncle Pai,rip.you will live on through your creations,we all grew up on amar chitra katha,truly the best most indian,cultured way to grow up. Amar Chitra Katha's taught us our culture,history & heritage in a fun way.Education was entertaining,Uncle Pai deserves a bharat ratna &more. As a mark of respect read an Amar Chitra Katha or Tinkle today,it'll make our favorite Uncle Pai smile wherever he is,lots of love to him'

Music composer Vishal Dadlani seemed nostalgic as he remembered his childhood: 'Uncle Pai taught me as much or more than school did. I know Indian history/mythology primarily because of the Amar Chitra Katha comics. I don't have tv, or get newspapers, so just heard that we've lost Uncle Pai. If I ran a channel/newspaper, he'd be the top headline all day.'
