Your curiosity and your desire to learn and share, is what made you the fantastic teacher that you have always been. The four years we spent together have been most memorable." Aamir Khan wrote that Suhas Limaye's teachings were not merely restricted to language. "Every moment that we spent together is etched in my memory. You taught me not just Marathi but about so many other things too. Thank you. You will be sorely missed, Sir. My heartfelt condolences to the family.”
