The passing of Manoj Kumar, the "Bharat" of Indian cinema, has left a void in the industry. Manoj Kumar was recognized for his patriotic films. Some of his most popular movies include 'Purab Aur Paschim', 'Kranti' and 'Roti, Kapada Aur Makaan', among others. Tributes poured in from across the country, with everyone from Prime Minister Modi to President Murmu and members of the film industry like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Aamir Khan expressing their grief and admiration. Manoj Kumar's legacy as both an actor and filmmaker will forever be etched in the annals of Indian cinema.

Kumar, born Harikrishnan Giri Goswami in 1937 in Abbottabad (now in Pakistan), moved to Delhi with his family during the Partition. He made his Bollywood debut in 1957 with 'Fashion', but it was 'Kanchi Ki Gudiya' that gave him his first break in the industry.
