Actors like Viju Khote were institutions by themselves. Their large body of work will always be remembered. I'm fortunate to have worked with him on quite a few films. RIP SirðÃÃu00c2u009fÃÃu00c2u0099ÃÃu00c2u008f My heartfelt condolences to the family.
Madhuri Dixit, Paresh Rawal and Abhishek Bachchan shared their thoughts and emotions too:-
Khote was fantastic both in comedy and villainous roles and was truly an actor par excellence. Not many actors are fortunate enough to be remembered by their celluloid characters' names, but this man had two of those. May his soul rest in peace.
