The Hindi film industry is struggling with the loss of two great actors in a matter of two days. Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor were two icons who cannot be replaced. Tributes and condolence messages continue to pour in for the both of them, as many celebrities take time to cope with the loss.

Recently, Sanjay Dutt paid tribute to Rishi Kapoor in a heartfelt post on his Twitter handle. Sanjay wrote how Rishi has been like an elder brother to him, and remembered the one thing he always taught him.

Sharing a heartwarming picture with Rishi Kapoor and his son Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay wrote, "One thing that Chintu Sir taught me was to always do things with a smile on our face!
