Our heartfelt tribute to Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor

So for the 2 consecutive days we woke up to the news of losing 2 precious gems of the Indian film industry, Irfaan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. I have never ever in my life felt so bad for losing any celebrity as I felt for Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. Irrfan Khan’s effortless acting, his thousand expressions and that innocent smile made him a fine actor. He had a style which surely no other actor at least in Bollywood had. Today we have lost him but he will always live in our memories through his work.

Another news that shook Bollywood was that of Rishi Kapoor passing away the very next day of Irrfan Khan’s demise. Rishi Kapoor with his bubbly smile and curly hair also ruled a lot of hearts.

Both the actors have left a space that no one would be able to fill for years to come.
