said
in
a
statement,
"I
had
the
privilege
of
working
with

out
for
his
generosity
as
an
artist,
which
made
it
a
pleasure
to
work
in
any
scene
with
him."
She
further
added,
"I
remember
the
intensity
of
his
commitment,
and
equally
his
smile.
I
send
my
condolences
and
my
sympathy
to
his
family,
his
friends,
and
all
admirers
of
his
work,
in
India
and

to

He
