MF Hussain

Bollywood celebrities, authors, musicians, journalists and columnists mourn the death of renowned Indian painter Maqbool Fida Hussain, who lived the last five years of his life in exile. He died of heart attack in London on Thursday morning. He was 95 .

Rahul Bose (actor)
Hussain passes away. We hang our heads partly in grief & partly in shame for not being able to let him spend his last days in this country.

Barkha Dutt (journalist)
"India will live in my heart. If I were forty I would have fought them tooth and nail" said MF Hussain to me explaining why he was compelled to give up citizenship. We owe him so much. Such shame that an artist who put India on the global stage spent his last years in exile.

Alvida Hussain saheb. Your not being able to return to India is our countrys abiding shame. RIP Atleast in his death, give Husain a sense of home. I hope the UPA government that could not create conditions for Hussains safe return will have the grace to mourn him in death.

Vivek Agnihotri (filmmaker)
People who are cracking jokes on MF Hussein need forgiveness for they know nothing about arts and the artist.

Suresh Menon (comedian)
How sad, a great painter like MF passes away in London and terrorist still lives in an Indian jail with our government spending a bomb to keep him alive!

Taslima Nasreen (author)
M.F.Hussain could not spend his last days in his motherland! Cry, the beloved country.

Sophie Choudry (actor)
May your soul RIP far away from the insanities of this cruel world & may the sky become your new canvas. Thank you for your beautiful art.

Pooja Bedi (socialite, Tv anchor)
I'm deeply saddened that one of India's greatest artists MF Hussain died & even more saddened fanaticism kept him away from India till death.

Shobhaa De (author, columnist)
I feel blessed to have met M F Husain in London 48 hours ago. India has lost a Bharat Ratna.

R.I.P M.F. Hussain! Didn't know too much about the controversy but find it extremely pathetic and its unfortunate that he couldn't even die in the country that he wanted to die in. I find it extremely weird how when a person is alive and they did something wrong they're criticized for life, but as soon as they pass away everyone suddenly acts like they love and miss them?! Why can't people forgive while that person is alive? May Allah Grant him Jannat! Ameen.
