Actress Juhi Chawla on Wednesday paid tribute to late former president APJ Abdul Kalam, saying he was ‘very intelligent and the whole nation loved him.’ Asked about her tweet, condoling the death of Kalam and calling him an ‘inspirational leader,’ Juhi said: “He loved kids. He talked a lot of good things. He had great thinking and vision. We lost him, I think it is a great loss for us.” Juhi had tweeted: “Our nation has lost an inspirational leader. Saddened and in loss of words….RIP APJ Abdul Kalam.” Interacting with media after launching ‘Sept-Opus’ by Jyotin Goel at the Kitab Khana here, reading some excerpts from this children’s book and signing some books for excited fans, Juhi also revealed she once got an opportunity to meet him, but things didn’t materialise, which she regrets.
