It is said that Alexander, the conqueror of the world, made three wishes before his death. His first wish was for the doctors to carry his coffin. So that the public gets the message that even the best doctors are nothing against the black cycle of time. His second wish was that the roads be lined with gold rushes when his coffin is carried to the grave. In this way he wanted to say that the one who lost his whole life in earning has to leave here at last. His third and final wish was that both his hands be left out of the coffin to convey the message that Alexander the Great, conqueror of the world, ultimately goes empty-handed.
All these events were freshened up in Mumbai on July 18, 2012, when the biggest superstar of the Hindi film industry bid farewell to the world.

He proved that the world cannot be won, but the love of people can be won.
The real reason for this was his fan following which no other Bollywood artist has ever seen. Once upon a time, the stardom of this actor was such that girls from all corners of the country used to write love letters to him with blood, when a new film of this star came out in theaters, girls would come out dressed as if they were going on a date with him, when the star was mistakenly spotted by female fans. It was like watching.
It is said that the window of his car used to be painted with the lipstick color of female fans and it was not that this star was popular only among women. In those days, even the tailors used to get the same request that the clothes that this star has worn in the film.. I want the same clothes. It was he who made jeans, kurtas and mojdis a style statement. Along with this, in those days, a boy would be seen in every house who would copy the hairstyle of this star. His fame becomes special because in those days social media was not even remote TV channels and 24 hours radio.
