"He had even requested me to do a small guest role in a film he was producing, which I did..A humble human .. loved by millions ..My duas and my prayers.." Bachchan wrote on his blog.
He continued: "Syed Ishtiaq Ahmed Jafri .. his real name , adopted Jagdeep as his film name and gave the film fraternity such memorable performances, that brought so much joy and happiness all around.."

Dilip Kumar, Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Jayant - Amjad Khan's Father, a giant of a actor .. and many many others .." he wrote.
"One by one they all go away .. leaving the Industry bereft and deprived of their immense contribution," concluded the veteran actor with a heavy heart.
