Emotional tributes to Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor: The highlight of the evening also included a tribute to late actors Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor by director Mira Nair and Amitabh Bachchan, respectively. While Nair, who directed Khan in ‘The Namesake’ and ‘Salaam Bombay’, spoke about the greatness of the actor and his avid listening skills, Bachchan reminisced about his times with ‘Chintu’ in a nostalgic, personal tribute to the actor, while also sharing why he didn’t visit Kapoor in the hospital. “I never visited him in Hospital .. I never wanted to see distress on his smiling cherubic face. But I am certain .. when he went, he must have gone with a gentle smile,” Bachchan said. Image Credit: Screengrab
