He is still remembered for his valuable contribution to the Hindi film industry. I have fond memories of him and the times we spent together. He brought such wonderful humanity and pathos to his writings. I respected both the man and his work tremendously”

But this misunderstanding was cleared after some time when Gaur saab’s friends realized that it was indeed Vrajendra Gaur ji’s birthday.
