Bal Thackeray: Bollywood's friend, philosopher and guide

"When I fought for my life after 'Coolie' accident, he came to visit me in hospital, with a cartoon he had drawn - Yamraj defeated! Yamraj - God of Death, defeated by me... wish I was as proficient a cartoonist as he, I would wish to draw that for him," posted Big B, adding how Thackeray considered Jaya Bachchan as his 'bahu'. Amitabh recalled when his name was drawn into the Bofors scandal, Thackeray again came to his aid. "Tell me the truth, are you involved? The don't worry, I am with you," Thackeray then told Big B.
