Some of the replies to my tweets on sudden passing of young & promising Junaid Shah which has saddened us all seek to speculate about cause of the death.Some morons-as they surely are-have even passed abhorrent comments.This is disgusting.Pray for the departed soul & sleep well.

I’m told 28-year-old Junaid Shah and his parents had about a month back returned home from Mumbai where he would do modelling and was also reportedly enrolled in @AnupamPKher ‘s school of acting. He had no history of heart ailment.

On the professional front, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will next be seen in Director Ayan Mukerji‘s action-adventure-fantasy venture, Brahmastra. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Dimple Kapadia and Mouni Roy in pivotal roles. The Shahenshah of Bollywood, who has collaborated with Ranbir for the first time, earlier praised RK in an interview, saying, “His face is God‘s blessing. He doesn’t seem to make any effort to convey emotions whereas I’ve to constantly struggle to express myself and ask the director to help me.”
