India, Pakistan celebrities remember legendary Om Puri

Both Bollywood and Pakistan are taking the news of his passing with a heavy heart.

Acclaimed Bollywood actor Om Puri passed away earlier Friday after a massive heart attack. He was 66-years-old.

An actor of immense talent, he is known as an icon in both East and West. Having films in the UK, Americas, Pakistan, and in India, he was deeply admired by his fans. His career spans many iconic roles and films and his last film entitled 'Actor in Law' was his debut into Pakistani cinema.

Too soon.??..Terribly sad to lose another legend #OmPuri. May the family be strong.
