"काय
लिहू
आणि
कसं
लिहू
सुचेना..
हेमंत
काका
नुकताच
"जीव
झाला
येडपिसा"
मधून
तुम्ही
घराघरात
पोहोचला
होता.
लोक
तुम्हाला
जोशी
कमी
आणि
जीव
झाला
मधले
भावे
म्हणून
ओळखायला
लागले
होते.
तुमच्या
किती
आठवणी
सांगू
तितकं
कमी
आहे.
मला
आठवतो
तो
जळगाव
ते
सांगलीचा
लांबचा
प्रवास.
त्या
प्रवासात
तुम्ही
माझ्या
सोबत
नसता
तर
कदाचित
डिप्रेशन
मध्ये
गेलो
असतो
मी.
एकाच
सिनेमात
काम
करताना
एका
निर्मात्याने
माझे
पैसे
बुडवल्याने
प्रचंड
निराश
आणि
खचलेला
मी
आणि
मला
सावरणारे
आणि
धीर
देणारे
तुम्ही.
तुमचं
ते
वाक्य
कायमच
लक्षात
राहील
"तुझे
७०
हजार
बुडाले
पण
७०
लाखांचा
अनुभव
घेतलास
तू,
स्वामी
असा
अनुभव
प्रत्येकाला
देत
नसतात,
डोकं
शांत
ठेव
आणि
ऐश
कर"
आज
तुमच्या
रूपाने
मी
माझा
एक
मित्र
हो
मित्रच
गमावला.
कारण
वडीलधारी
असूनही
तुम्ही
जवळच्या
मित्रा
पेक्षा
कमी
न्हवता.
काका
तुम्ही
नेहमी
तक्रार
करायचात
की
मी
फोन
करत
नाही..
आता
कुणाला
फोन
करू..?
शेवटचा
भेटायचं
ही
राहून
गेलं
हेमंत
काका.
भावपूर्ण
श्रद्धांजली
हेमंत
काका..😭😭🙏🙏."

Supreett

said
that
Hemant
Joshi
helped
him
as
a
friend
and
guided
him
to
survive
in

He
got
emotional
in

also
expressed
grief
over
his

and
recalled
fond
memories
with
him.
She
told
ETimes
TV,
"I
was
shocked
when
I
heard
about
his
demise
because
he
shot
with
me
for
8
days
for
Julta
Jultay
Ki
(TV
show),
and
we
had
a
lot
of
fun
on
and
off-screen.
I
never
thought
it
would
be
the
last
time
we
would
meet.
Joshi
played
the
character
of
my
grandfather's
friend
in
the
show.
I
was
so
close
to
him.
He
was
so
brave
and
an
intelligent
actor.
I
cherish
all
my
memories
with
him
today."
