"I had the good fortune of meeting him recently on August 15. Unfortunately, that meeting proved to be our last meeting. My homage to the great actor," he said. Fadnavis said Gokhale's death created a vacuum in the field of cinema and theatre which will never be filled.
' 'His acting prowess is reflected through his body language and eyes. Apart from acting, he worked for the welfare of families of the disabled soldiers and homeless children," he said.
Thackeray said Gokhale had staunch views on several issues.
"He was a popular Marathi face in Hindi cinema. It is difficult to believe he is no more," Thackeray added.
