Mumbai :- The Governor of Maharashtra Ramesh Bais has expressed grief over the demise of senior journalist, humourist, orator and commentator Shirish Kanekar. In a condolence message the Governor wrote:
“The news of the demise of popular writer Shirish Kanekar is saddening. A fine journalist, Kanekar was a humorist, columnist and a popular show host. He wrote his popular column till his end and entertained his readers, and audiences, with fun-filled observations. His talks and articles on cricket and Hindi film industry were much admired. In his demise, the world of culture and literature has lost a respected figure. I pay my homage to the departed writer and convey my condolences to the members of the bereaved family.”
