Each time we are reminded of a loved one through a phrase, a joke, an action. These are the things that will keep us close despite death."

"Your father Irrfan was a great soul and everyone whose lives he touched, are better for having known him. He is missed dearly," Big b added.

Concluding his heartwarming note, Bachchan wrote, "My regards to your mother Sutapa, your brother Ayaan and self."
