Two Icons Pass, Amitabh Pays His Respects

Recently, Amitabh Bachchan paid his respects to two Bollywood greats, who both passed on this past week.

On his blog he stated he had gone to pay his respects and mourn the death of Aamir Khan's father, well-known filmmaker Tahir Hussain, and also showed his respect for the younger Khan when the actor expressed a desire to work together.

"We went across to Aamir's place and spent time with him and his family. Tried to keep the atmosphere light and cheerful. It was pleasant. As Aamir came down to see us off when we left his house, he expressed, 'We must work together sir...' I told him to direct a film. He has such talent for it. He nodded (in) approval," Amitabh posted.

Aamir lost his father on Tuesday morning, 2nd February.

He also his paid respects to Sujit Kumar, who died on the 5th. He was 75 years old and is survived by two children.

"Sujit Kumar passed away early this morning (Friday)...When life ends it takes along so many moments of the past in quick succession. All those memories of time spent together, the films, the locations on outdoors, the camaraderie, all gone in one swift cruel move. Condolences and prayers for his children and family," stated Bachchan.
