Big B's shocked

Amitabh Bachchan has expressed shock over the death of child actor Taruni Sachdev, who played his school friend in Paa, in Monday's plane crash in Nepal.

"Just reading that Taruni Sachdev, the girl child artist in Paa, has perished in Nepal plane crash ... please god may this not be true," Bachchan posted on Twitter.

At 14, Tarini had already featured in almost 50 ads and did a cameo in Paa. She was among 13 Indians who were killed when the aircraft crashed into a hill in Jomsom, western Nepal.

Abhishek Bachchan was equally saddened. "SHOCKED and very saddened to hear about the Nepal plane crash. Lost one of my cutest co-stars. Little Taruni Sachdev from Paa. Speechless," he tweeted.
