Thank you Bab Veronica for the article on Rom tony. I remember one of them imitating Bandodkar wearing white suit and black glasses.
Besides political, Rom-Rem-Rod trio was very famous for taptam (Slaps).. they used to slap each other in the song sequence. Recently I heard one song of Jr. Rod where in he mentioned your name in the song for fighting for Konkani....I cant recollect the name of the album...but the song was on Konkani fighters.
