/> Divya Dutta: "I can't forget the time I was sitting next to him, watching Chargesheet. I'll never forget the glow and smile on his face. " Boman Irani: "The direction department called for a schedule of Chargesheet when I was not required. Dev Saab sent me flowers to my van with an apology note. I was humbled and touched. His respect for people's time and the manner in which he expressed himself were lessons in humility. "

Kabir Bedi: "Dev Saab's amazing grit in shooting Ishq Ishq Ishq at 14, 000 feet in the Himalayas where we could look up at the Everest. He had more energy than all of us. "

Hansal Mehta: "He was my idol. I used to work on my films at Anand Studios to get a glimpse of him and to stand in the midst of the Navketan posters. And then one day he called me and said, ‘Dev here. Role karna hai tumhein Chargesheet mein. Mazaa ayega. "

For me just being directed by him, sharing a work space with him and spending talking to him during Chargesheet were a privilege. He looked really fragile but had the energy level of an 18-year old. The process of making a film kept him alive. I thought he was invincible. Alas..."

Adnan Sami: : "The legendary Guide of Hindi cinema no more. He was so young vibrant, He'd always correct me by saying ‘ADNAAAAAN we ‘re colleagues. Call me DEV!!!" I couldn't bring myself to. "

Lalit Pandit: "Recording our first song for Dev Saab which also happened to be the first song Lataji sang for us, Dev Saab hugged me and was extremely happy and promised to come to my wedding the following week. And he did!"

Zarina Wahab: "When I met Dev Saab I wanted to show him my photos and he said I can see you have a photogenic face. Believe me, he didn't see my pictures. I can never forget that. May God bless his soul. "

Rishi Kapoor: "Dev Saab was a style ka surtaj. All romantic heroes, including me, have copied him at some time. But he went when he had to. At least we didn't have to see such an icon suffer and die bit by bit like Mr Shammi Kapoor. In one year we've lost the two super-stars.

Indian entertainment would never be the same again. But why are we mourning Dev Saab's going? He was 86. We lost my father Mr Raj Kapoor when he was only 64. Let's celebrate the going away of a star who remained young until his very last. "
