Amitabh Bachchan, who was a close friend of the late M F Husain, recalled the time when the famed artist had visited him and gifted a painting during his Coolie accident. 'MF Hussain, artist, painter, friend ... passes away ! Sad, very sad ! Many of his works and gifts adorn my home .. Husain's best painting gift to me..a Hanuman with Sanjeevani booti' flying .. given to me in Breach Candy Hospital, during Coolie episode. Another special painting he did for me .. translated my poem I wrote in Hospital, on canvas ... very special and most endearing !!' he tweeted.
Rahul Khanna also happens to own a sketch made by Husain. 'MF Husain: A true original. Wonderfully quirky & wicked, they don't make them like that anymore,' he updated.
Author Shobhaa De, who met the artist just a few hours before his demise, requested politicians to stay away from his funeral. 'I feel blessed to have met m.f.Husain in London 48 hours ago.india has lost a Bharat Ratna. Hoping and praying Husain Saab is not hijacked in death by same people who persecuted him in life.politicians pl stay out of his funeral Attending Husainsaabs funeral today.good decision to bury him here. At least his grave will not be vandalised.may he rest in peace finally,' she tweeted.
Ram Gopal Varma thinks the prices of all MF Hussain paintings have doubled after his death. 'Met sme who felt vry sad tht M F hussein passed away nd also met sme who ar supr happy tht the value of the paintings thy own of his doubled,' he wrote.
