The "Big Bull," as people popularly called him, passed away on the August 14 this year at 62, leaving behind a legacy for stock investors to emulate. He understood stocks quite differently from other brokers as he believed that one should follow the trend as that is one's friend.

Apart from stocks, Jhunjhunwala was also an entrepreneur, and he started an airline called "Akasa Air," which primarily connects domestic cities within India.

He has also produced a few Hindi films, of which "English Vinglish" starring Sridevi has been a hit. The movie took 20 crores to make and raked in around 70 crores.
