It was just a few months ago, his views on India’s martyrs got him quite a lot of backlash. For which he even apologised.
He was known for his work in Indian, Pakistani, British cinema and was considered one of the strongest actors when it came to Independent art films and theatre.
May his soul rest in peace!
