On the eve of his 64th birthday, Shiv Sena (UBT) President and ex-Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday got a 'gift of a lifetime' -- a unique portrait of his father, the late Balasaheb Keshav Thackeray -- made with 27,000 big and small diamonds.
The portrait on a blackboard -- conceived by Thackeray's media advisor Harshal Pradhan -- was executed by well-known artist-cum-filmmaker from Dadar, Shailesh Acharekar.
The first-of-its-kind portrait was presented to Uddhav Thackeray at his home 'Matoshri' on Friday afternoon by Acharekar in the presence of other senior party leaders like Sanjay Raut, Vinayak Raut, Nitin Nandgaonkar and Harshal Pradhan.
