He made my father’s costumes and most of his suits from as far back as I can remember and many of my films too. He personally cut and stitched my first ever suit as a baby (I still have it) to the tux I wore to Refugee’s premiere.”

“I will wear one of your enumerable suits that you made for me tonight, Akki uncle, and feel blessed! Rest in peace,” he concluded.
