No share has been given to Jaidev and Madhavi, the widow of Thackeray's eldest son Bindumadhav, who died in a road accident some years ago. Madhavi has not contested the will.

Thackeray had named former Sena MP and senior advocate Adhik Shirodkar, lawyer Anil Parab, architect Shashi Prabhu and Ravindra Mhatre, former tersonal assistant to the late Sena supremo as executors of the will.

Dr Jalil Parkar, his personal physician, is the witness in whose presence Thackeray had signed the will. All of them refused comment.
