It is difficult for cricket legend Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's family to accept his death, Bollywood actress and his daughter Soha Ali Khan said Wednesday.

"I recall him with lot of love. There is still a lot of disbelief at the moment that he is no more. It is difficult for me and my family, " Soha told reporters on the sidelines of a programme organised here by coffee chain Cafe Coffee Day and ITC's stationery brand ITC Classmate.

When asked about the love and support that has poured in from all over the world after the death of Tiger Pataudi, Soha said: "I and my family really appreciate the love and support that we have received from all over India and the world. We thank everyone for standing by us in this difficult moment."

Pataudi, who led India in 40 Test matches, died Sep 22 following a lung infection.
