Mahashay Dharampal Gulati

MDH ads will no longer feature the familiar sight of a smiling grandpa in red turban doing a cameo appearance at the end. Those moments have been relegated to history with the passing away of 97-year-old Mahashay Dharampal Gulati, best known as the face of MDH Masale, on Thursday. He died of cardiac arrest in a New Delhi hospital, leaving behind a Rs 2,000-crore group counted among the largest organised spice players in the country. He is survived by a son and six daughters.

Celebrities, politicians and ordinary citizens were quick to offer their condolences on the death of Gulati.
