Balasaheb is a caretaking and lovable person. Due to his worship-to- work nature, the family responsibility lies on the able shoulders of his poetic and cheerful wife, Shakuntala. His daughter Manjiri Kawre and sons Sameer and Ajinkya got their inspiration from their hard working and dedicated parents. Balasaheb has four intelligent and outgoing grandchildren who are their grandfathers favourite.
