Maharashtra Governor condoles demise of journalist, columnist Shirish Kanekar

The Governor of Maharashtra Ramesh Bais has expressed grief over the demise of senior journalist, humourist, orator and commentator Shirish Kanekar. In a condolence message the Governor wrote:

“The news of the demise of popular writer Shirish Kanekar is saddening. A fine journalist, Kanekar was a humorist, columnist and a popular show host. He wrote his popular column till his end and entertained his readers, and audiences, with fun-filled observations. His talks and articles on cricket and Hindi film industry were much admired. In his demise, the world of culture and literature has lost a respected figure. I pay my homage to the departed writer and convey my condolences to the members of the bereaved family.”
