Sholay editor lives in slums

After veteran character artist A.K. Hangal, comes news that 81-year-old M.S. Shinde, editor of the cult film " Sholay", is perishing in poverty in Asia's biggest slum Dharavi. The Cine and TV Artists Association (CINTAA) has come to his aid.

Shinde, who edited over a hundred hit films including " Shaan", "Shakti" and "Seeta Aur Geeta", had to move to the PMFP colony in Dharavi after the building in Parel where he lived for 48 years collapsed and the owner refused to help him. His wife died in 2006 and he lives with his daughter Achla.
