Anupam Kher mourns Pankaj Udhas' death
Taking to Instagram, Kher shared a brief clip in which he said, "Pankaj Udhas ji. Why do some people leave like this? There are some people whom you seldom meet but everytime you've met them, you have beautiful memories of them. When you suddenly realise that they have left, their memories shroud your mind."
The actor went on to say that he was a lovely man who was kind, gentle, and never stopped smiling.
Referring to his popular song, 'Chitthi Aayi Hai', Anupam Kher said, "Ab cchitthi nahi aayegi'. I heard this song from him many times. In those days, I used to meet him a lot. I've been on flights with him twice. It wasn't planned but it so happened that I bumped into him on a flight on my way to America. He was a very tender, sweet, good-hearted and a good person. This should not have happened. You feel alone all the more when your contemporary for the people who you love they leave suddenly like this. Of course, one feels bad at the departure of every member of this fraternity. But some people indeed leave a void. We all will miss him".
