One of the legendary radio personalities, Lulu Buksh passed away after a short illness yesterday afternoon.
Buksh who has been described as a man of strong character with a great sense of humour, was one of the first in Fiji to team up with FM96 personality, Mere Lomaloma to bring the first ever duo breakfast show in the country.
One of the many people who worked with Lulu was Communications Fiji Limited Managing Director, William Parkinson who said that Lulu Buksh never grew old and it was evident when he did the Mere and Lulu Show on FM96 in the late 80's and early 90's.
Lulu Buksh, who was 85 years old, started off his career as a Customs Officer and then retired. He was later known for the FM96 breakfast show with Mere and Lulu during the 1990s.
Speaking from the US this morning, an emotional Mere Lomaloma said she would never forget the moment when she was told that she would have to work with Lulu on the FM96 Breakfast Show.
Lomaloma also said that they had a lot of arguments on air, and for those who remember the Mere and Lulu Show - there were a lot of arguments, but that just brought them closer and the show even got better.
Over the years Lulu had also become one of the best auctioneers in Fiji.
Lulu passed away just after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Funeral arrangements are currently underway.
