"Ram Laxman, music director of my successful films like Maine Pyaar Kiya, Patthar Ke Phool, Hum Saath Saath Hain, Hum Apke Hain Kaun has sadly passed away. May his soul rest in peace. Condolences to the bereaved family," Salman Khan tweeted.


Others from the film industry also mourned the composer's demise on social media.

Ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas posted: "Veteran music composer Ram Laxman (Vijay Patil ) composer of many hit films like Maine Pyaar Kiya and many passed away due to a heart attack last night I had the privilege to work with him specially a song Mein Tere Saath Hun from film Patthar. May his soul rest in eternal peace."
