Veteran actor and filmmaker Manoj Kumar will be laid to rest with state honours today, April 5.
The 87-year-old screen icon, whose patriotic films left an indelible mark on Indian cinema, passed away on April 4 following a prolonged illness. Keeping to schedule, his mortal remains were transported from the hospital to his home for the final rites.
As per protocol, Kumar’s mortal remains were wrapped in the Indian national flag. Visuals from his residence earlier in the day showed an ambulance decorated with tricolour-themed flowers.
