Amitabh Bachchan, Vicky Kaushal, Sidharth Malhotra, Shibhani Dandekar, Sunny Deol, and other Bollywood stars have now remembered the legend and paid heartfelt tributes to him.

Big B posted on Twitter, “T 3940 – In grief. Milkha Singh passes away.. the pride of India.. a great athlete.. a greater human.. Waheguru di Mehr.. prayer.” Vicky Kaushal, Sidharth Malhotra, Sonam Kapoor, Zoya Akhtar, Sonu Sood, and Diljit Dosanjh, on the other hand, shared photos of the legendary sprinter as they remembered him. Shibhani Dandekar, who had spent time with him and his family as a result of Farhan Akhtar’s Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, took to social media to write a heartfelt tribute to the late legend and his late wife Nirmal Kaur.

Shibani shared a throwback photo of herself with Farhan, Milkha Singh, and his wife Nirmal Kaur. “One of the greatest memories I have is meeting Milkha Ji and his lovely family (only once) and eating aloo parathas with lots of butter (of course) in his home,” she wrote alongside it. He told us stories from his days… and what incredible stories they were… the journey of a man full of courage, fighting spirit, and perseverance. Despite the difficulties, he never lost the qualities that made him such a great human being, and I was instantly drawn to him.I fell in love with him right away. He had a kind heart, a gentle soul, and a way of brightening up a room with his contagious energy. He truly is the true champion that this country knows him to be, but I learned that he is also one of the kindest people this world has ever known..there will never be another like you Milkha ji.. will miss your beautiful laugh.. hope you are dancing in the clouds with Nirmal aunty.. you will both be greatly missed. “I adore you.”
