Actor Vivek had posed a sentimental question at the end of Kamal Haasan's appearance on stage at the Natchithira Kalai Vizha in Malaysia: What the legendary actor wants to be remembered by at the end of his life.

Kamal Haasan answered beautifully: "Rather than just remembered as someone as who came, stayed and left, I want to be remembered as someone who still lives on."

Vivekh, as well as the audience, erupted in applause. Following this, he was put to answer one last question: If he had anything to say the Malaysian people. He answered cryptically, "Remember, you are the focus (referring to Maiyam) of the world, and I am part of it. What you should look for is not leadership, but skill."
