The 72-year-old, on his blog, shared: "A simple man, of childlike
demeanour, practical, caring and endearing to all...my only achievement
of contact with him - a telephone conversation just before he was
announced to be the next President of India. India is grieved."
Kalam died on Monday evening in Shillong, where he was delivering a lecture at a premium educational institute.
"Sudden end to an iconic figure...the brain behind the phenomenal
presence of India in science, missile technology and several other
achievements connected with space research and putting India on the
world map in these facilities,” Big B added.
The 'Piku' actor also prayed for strength for the bereaved family.
“In such moments of grief it becomes difficult to indulge in what we
would term as a routine and normal communication through this medium.
But, we remember him in prayer and in our condolences to his near and
dear ones,” Amitabh further posted.
