Amitabh Bachchan pens down note in remembrance of Vikram Gokhale and Tabassum in his blog

Amitabh Bachchan penned down a note remembering popular actor and Television show host Tabassum and his friend and veteran actor Vikram Gokhale. He wrote the ‘days are lined with sadness’ as they all ‘played their parts and left the stage empty.' Tabassum passed away on November 19 due to cardiac arrest and Vikram Gokhale died on Saturday after multiple organ failure.

Amitabh remembered Vikram Gokhale, Tabassum and other artist friends in his blog on Sunday. He wrote, ‘the days are lined with sadness... friends and colleagues... artists of huge merit, leave us day by day... and we listen see and pray... Tabassum... Vikram Gokhale and some dear ones that are close and known… they came to us in our lives... they played their parts and left the stage empty forlorn and desolate by their absence…’

Vikram Gokhale was 77. He died in a Pune hospital where he was undergoing treatment. Amitabh worked with him in Agneepath (1990) and Khuda Gawah (1992). The two were also seen in Marathi film ‘AB Ani CD.’ They played childhood friends in the film.

Tabassum was known for her roles as a child in several Hindi classics such as Baiju Bawra and Mughal-e-Azam. She also hosted popular Doordarshan talk show Phool Khile Hain Gulshan Gulshan. She died last week. She was 78.

Big B had earlier talked Tabassum in a blog post. He wrote, ‘…they all leave us one by one... and it is beyond comprehension... you only recollect the times of their presence and life before the eyes and the mind... and they ever remain an image of the time... unchanged, unfettered and in the freedom of free... and then they leave, and it cannot be fathomed.’
