Dev Anand, the 'Evergreen Romantic Superstar' of Indian cinema, who had come London for medical check up, was not keeping well for the last few days, has passed away last night following cardiac arrest. He was 88.
Amitabh Bachchan tweeted about Dev Anand, "Just reading news about Dev Saheb .. praying it is not true ! He was such a positive person .. never associated death with him... Had just met Dev Saheb at his premiere recently .. he was weak but full of spirit ..the news papers confirming his passing away ..sad. An era has come to an end .. Dev Anand leaves a void never perhaps to be filled again .. his never give up belief, his joy of life!"
Shah Rukh Khan said in his tweet, "Dev sahib's sad demise makes me feel that the film industry is incomplete & has lost its magical energy. May Allah bless his soul." Bollywood plunges into mourning on this sad news.
Mohan Churiwala, Dev Anand's manager, told IANS "His son Sunil came out of the bathroom and saw that Dev saab was not responding. He called the doctor, who said that he had a heart attack. He died at 10 in the night in London".
