Bollywood was strangely absent at the weekend cremation of cinematic legend <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/tv-stars-remember-evergreen-dev-anand>Dev Anand</a> who died in London a week ago or so. The only close representation came from Sahara group chief worker Subroto Roy who flew to London to be at the funeral which was attended by around 200 people; among whom featured Indian High Commissioner in Britain, Rajesh Prasad and Lord Meghnad Desai.
