Now, prominent film personalities are reaching out to offer their deepest tributes in the midst of remembering the association he had with him and as well as giving immense appreciation to the contributions to India through him.
"Dr. Manmohan Singh was one of the greatest statesmen our country has ever known. He was one of the highly educated and soft-spoken leaders but humble at heart, whose two successive terms in the government saw the ushering in of historic reforms as the Prime Minister of India. This is where I was as a Member of Parliament and Minister of State for Tourism, from which I benefited immensely through lessons he imparted. The loss is unbearable to the nation. Heartfelt condolences to his family."
"India will mourn the irreparable loss of a legendary statesman and economist, the great Padma Vibhushan Dr. Manmohan Singh. From the era of LPG reforms as a Finance Minister in his nation's trajectory; from the establishment of landmark Acts such as the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, Right to Information Act, Right to Education Act, these have always been during Prime Ministership under him. A person, so full of wisdom and integrity, totally devoted to public service who shall never stop inspiring other generations, My heart out goes for his family; his soul may rest in peace.
"India lost an influential scholar and statesman today, with the passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh. His visionary economic and social policies defined the nation, affecting millions of Indians and etching forever their own place in history. While serving both as finance minister and prime minister, the judgments he passed reflected a depth of commitment to social justice. His legacy shall stay in the annals of Indian politics forever. To the family, my condolence.".
"Today, our country lost one of its finest prime ministers. Dr. Manmohan Singh, a man so synonymous with respect and humility, led India's economic growth with unmatched vision. We will always be in debt to his efforts. My condolences to all the family members.
The socio-economic scenario of India is imprinted by the leadership and achievements of Dr. Manmohan Singh. A humble man dedicated to public service, his reforms still mold the nation. Such an enormous loss touches all walks of life.
