Legendary
playback
singer
Lata
Mangeshkar
expressed
her
concern
over
Sena
chief
Bal
Thackeray's
ailing
health
and
re-scheduled
a
music
event
on
Thursday.
"I
am
extremely
disturbed
and
concerned
about
the
critical
health
of
Shri
Balasaaheb
Thackeray,
who
is
like
a
family
member
to
me.
My
prayers
are
with
Balasaaheb
and
the
entire
Thackeray
family," Mangeshkar
wrote
on
Twitter.
"In
view
of
this,
I
am
postponing
the
function
of
my
music
company
to
a
later
date," Mangeshkar
said.
The
event
was
scheduled
for
November
18.
Meanwhile,
Bollywood
celebrities
Madhur
Bhandarkar,
Nana
Patekar
and
others
visited
Thackeray's
residence
'Matoshree'
in
suburban
Bandra.
Filmmaker
Pritish
Nandy
said
he
is
praying
for
Thackeray's
recovery.
"My
sympathies
and
love
to
Uddhav
and
Aditya
as
they
cope
with
the
tragedy
of
Balasaheb's
failing
health.
May
he
fight
back
and
win.
Our
prayers
go
out
for
Balasaheb
Thackeray
and
his
family
members....
May
the
tiger
wake
up
and
roar
again,"
he
said.
"That
a
cartoonist
in
the
Free
Press
Journal
could
reach
where
Balasaheb
reached
is
a
tribute
to
the
power
of
Indian
democracy.
There
will
be
lots
of
time
later
to
discuss
the
politics
of
the
Sena,
good
or
bad.
Time
to
now
pray
that
Balasaheb
comes
back
from
the
edge,"
he
added.
Filmmaker
Ashok
Pandit
tweeted,
"Balasahab
stopped
my
community
(Kashmiri
pandits)
from
picking
up
arms
by
giving
us
education.
After
my
exodus,
I
went
to
Balasaheb
for
help.
He
asked
me
what
do
u
want?
I
said
our
wealth
is
education.
He
immediately
created
a
quota
&
gave
us
education."
