Big B Amitabh Bachchan remembered that he has received his first ever National award from Karunanidhi. The film was Sath Hindustani he said and the same was tweeted.
He paid rich tributes to Karunanidhi and said that he went to Madras now Chennai to receive the award. Karunanidhi was the Chief Minister then and was the chief guest for the award function.
It may be recalled that Karunanidhi died yesterday evening in the Kauvery hospital and was 94. He was the DMK chief for over 50 years and it was like a one-man show for him. Karunanidhi also wrote scripts for the movies which were super duper hits. His speeches were also enjoyed by the public in general and they craved to hear that voice.
Karunanidhi was cremated this evening at the Marina beach near the memorial of Jayalalithaa and Annadurai.
