Before he passed away, a number of movie stars, including Jeetendra and Johnny Lever, paid the ailing actor visits. Jeetendra went to Junior Mehmood’s house on Tuesday because the veteran actor had expressed a desire to meet him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeetendra broke down when he saw his friend and co-star in agony. The actor told\u00a0about his visit and said he was\u00a0there by his bedside, but Junior Mehmood\u00a0did\u00a0not recognise\u00a0him. He can’t even open his eyes from the anguish he’s in. Jeetendra said it pained him\u00a0to see his friend\u00a0in this way. He has\u00a0been visiting Mount Mary Church for 25\u00a0years. He\u00a0had intended to stop by Junior on way to church the next Sunday when he\u00a0heard about his health issues. However, Johnny contacted him\u00a0on Monday night and urged him\u00a0to visit him as soon as possible,\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sachin Pilgaonkar visited Junior Mehmood as well. Later, he begged his Instagram followers to pray for the well-being of his childhood friend in a post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
