Talk:A. K. Hangal

message: Hangal was born on 1st Feb 1914 and so he was 98 year old while dying.That means he was in his 98th year as he had completed 97th year already!!
Those who say he was  born on 1917 have taken the piece of information from wikipedia itself! Recently an interview was taken by tv9  in India on 15th Aug of Hangal and his fans. His fan Ila Arun herself mentioned that Hangal wishes to make a 100 by lving for another 2 years. Video is available in youtube.
I suggest you watch the video where Hangal and Ila Arun themselves say in interview that after 2 years he would reach 100.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaOPHsaDYqc

replies: text: I am not saying 1914 is incorrect. I am asking you not to change it before reaching a consensus. Simple Google search shows some good references which state Hangal was born in 1917. So reaching a consensus first will be a great idea. --Tito Dutta ✉  04:32, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry but most sources i have seen says he is born in year 1917, the only thing not solid is his day and month of birth which ranges from 1st February and 15th August. Unless you can prove otherwise, the birth year is 1917. Wikipedia doesn't take words of people claiming his age, it wants SOLID PROOF and as of now, the word of mouth is NOT proof enough...--Stemoc (talk) 12:18, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Please change " Vijay's wife passed away 15 days after Hangal's wife died " to " Vijay's wife Shashi Hangal passed away 2 years after Hangal's wife died " because that's the fact and there is some error in indiatimes article and same can be confirmed from Mr.Vijay Hangal also.
Thanks,

If there was an error at the Indiatimes article, it probably would have been corrected by now, but you don't have a source supporting your claim. A boat that can float!
