Making his debut with the film Bobby in the year 1973, Rishi was one of the most loved actors in B-town and he always managed to charm his way into the fans’ heart with his impeccable acting talent.

Many Bollywood celebrities took to their social media handle to pay tribute to our legendary actor.

Akshay Kumar, who shared the screen space with the late actor in the film Patiala House, tweeted,

It’s not far off the mark to say B-town has been a roller-coaster ride as, within less than 24 hours, we witness the demise of two legends. Yesterday, the Internet was breaking with the death of Life Of Pi star Irrfan Khan.

It’s a big loss for the Hindi film industry.
