Deepti Naval & Farooq Sheikh
Paying tribute to the Chashme Badoor star, Deepti Naval told IANS : "I will never meet a person like him. His friendship matters a lot to me. I was lucky to find a co-star like him. He never did any film for money, but only if he liked the script."
Sharing her memories of the actor, Sonali Bendre broke down in tears when saying: "I was shocked when I heard the news. I cannot eat biryani without him... whenever I will eat biryani, I will always remember him. He was so gentle and so humble."
Shabana Azmi starred with Farooq Sheikh in the acclaimed stage play Tumhari Amrita, which ran for 21 years.
She also commented that the star had made his last curtain call.
"Parda gir gaya hai (The curtain has fallen). This was our last play which we performed together on December 14 in Agra. There will be no show without Farooq.
"I said it's been 21 years and we should stop this play. And he said, 'Why are you saying this? In fact, we will continue this play for the next 21 years'," Azmi recalled.
Other Bollywood celebrities who attended the funeral included Javed Akhtar, Tabu, Farhan and Adhuna Akhtar, Shekhar Suman, Zoya Akhtar, Ila Arun, Rahul Bose and Sarikaa.
Sheikh is survived by his wife and two daughters.
