Superstar Aamir Khan expressed deep sorrow at the death of yesteryear film star Shashi Kapoor, who passed away in Mumbai today.
The Dangal (2016) actor has always been known to respect seniors in the film industry. He also has a special affinity to the Kapoor clan. And it is no secret that he was a great fan of the late Shammi Kapoor, a favourite of his filmmaker grandfather Nasir Husain.
Paying glowing tribute to Shammi's younger brother Shashi Kapoor, Khan said, "Shashi uncle was not only a great star and passionate filmmaker, but also a wonderful human being. His work has always given Indian audiences great joy. His contribution to Indian theatre was huge, Prithvi theatre is the favourite venue of performers and audiences alike. His passing is a sad day for all of us. My condolences to Sanjana, Kunal Kapoor, Karan and everyone in the family. May his soul rest in peace. Love and respect,” Khan posted on Twitter.
