Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has expressed grief and sorrow over the death of veteran Bollywood actor Om Puri.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said that Om Puri delivered some stellar performances in mainstream commercial Pakistani, Indian movies and elevated the status of cinema through his natural talent.
Sharif said that late Om Puris contributions were significant in linking cultural ties between Pakistan and India, while he refused to succumb to the pressure of anti-peace lobbies.
The Pakistan PM prayed on behalf of the people and government of Pakistan for patience and forbearance to the family of Om Puri to bear this irreparable loss.
The 66-year-old was found dead at his home on Friday morning, reportedly after suffering a heart attack.
He was awarded the Padma Shri, one of Indias highest civilian honors, in 1990 and received an honorary OBE for his contribution to the British film industry in 2004.
Several actors and Indian filmmakers, athletes and fans also expressed sorrow over the death of Om Puri.
Om Puri, one of Indias most critically acclaimed actors, received accolades for his outstanding performances in not just Indian but also Pakistani, British, and Hollywood cinema.
