Vir Das has mourned the loss of the former Prime Minister of the country, Dr. Manmohan Singh. Vir Das, who used to host a show on a popular news channel, had cracked jokes about the then PM Manmohan Singh many times. Today, as the world mourns his death, Das reminisced about the old times when it was possible to joke about the leader and wrote, "Think about how far-fetched that seems today."
While talking about the `powerful man,` Vir Das wrote a heartfelt note that reads, "Dr. Manmohan Singh said that history would remember him kindly. I`m happy to see that`s the case on social media today. He had a sense of humour. Leaders mean different things to different people, I can only speak to my experience."
