Remember the first superhero India had? Kanoon ka dost, mujrimo ka dushman – Shaktimaan. Saturdays would be incomplete without our dose of some desi superhero action. A powerhouse dedicated towards fighting against evil and saving mankind, Pandit Gangadhar Vidyadhar Mayadhar Omkarnath Shastri left a mark in our hearts forever, as did Shaktimaan.
