Rukh Khan has mourned
the death of Pran, one of
Indian cinema's most
hated villains yet among the most loved, respected and versatile
actors, saying the icon will always live in
the hearts of his fans.
Pran Kishan Sikand, popular as Pran,
breathed his last at the Lilavati Hospital
here late Friday evening following
prolonged illness, his son said. He was 93.
Expressing his grief through Twitter, Shah
Rukh wrote: "Why do icons who shaped
our lives and emotions have to go
away?"
"You will, sir, remain etched in our
hearts. Allah bless your soul Pran sahib,"
Shah Rukh wrote.
In a career of over six decades, Pran
acted in over 400 movies. Among his memorable movies are
"Azaad", "Madhumati", "Devdas", "Dil
Diya Dard Liya", "Ram Aur Shyam",
"Aadmi", "Ziddi", "Munimji", "Amardeep",
"Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai", "Chori Chori",
"Chhalia", and "Zanjeer".
Pran was honoured with the Dadasaheb
Phalke Award for Lifetime Achievement
this year.
Priyanka Chopra, who is working in the
remake of the 1973 hit "Zanjeer", which
popularised Pran as Sher Khan, a Pathan
friend who stands through thick and thin
by the protagonist played by Amitabh
Bachchan, too mourned his death.
She also took to Twitter and posted:
"'Zanjeer'! Will miss Sher Khan forever.
RIP Pran sahib. Thank you for giving us
such a legendary legacy. Loss of a legend.
Prayers and condolences."
The new version is being directed by
Apoorva Lakhia, and Ramcharan Teja is
playing the lead in it, while Sanjay Dutt
will be seen in the role palyed by Pran.
