I remember watching 'Anand aur Anand' as a child. Suneil may not have become a big star like his father, but he carried the legacy forward in his own way. This is truly a loss for Indian cinema. My deepest condolences to the family. 🤍
It's so sad when a family loses someone. But why does the media have to pry? The request for privacy should be respected. Let them grieve in peace without photographers hounding them. Some things are more important than news stories.
70 years old? That's still young in today's times. Makes you wonder about the cause, but I respect the family's privacy. Dev Anand's films are timeless, and it's bittersweet knowing his son has also left us. Rest in peace, Suneil ji.
My heartfelt condolences to the Anand family. Having grown up watching Dev Anand's movies, it's always sad to hear about the passing of someone from that golden era. I'm not familiar with Suneil's work, but the loss is no less significant. Take care, and may peace be with you. 🕊️
It is indeed a loss for the industry. But I want to gently point out that we shouldn't speculate about the cause of death. The family has asked for privacy, and we must respect that. Also, let's not forget Kalpana Kartik (his mother) who must be going through immense pain. God give them strength.
