A fan who vividly remembered the day wrote, “We can never forget August 2nd… the heart breaking day for all of us. No internet to give us the health news. The whole family did fasting and prayers. Those prayers had so much power as it came from heart. I don’t have courage to watch the movie Coolie which changed your world.”
