Mahesh Babu and Ram Charan have expressed their grief over the unfortunate passing away of the 53-year-old Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan. They condoled Khan's death through Twitter.

"Deeply saddened by the news of #IrrfanKhan's untimely demise. A brilliant actor gone too soon. He will be truly missed... My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

Condolences are pouring in from across India. "I have not even met you sir. But this loss feels so personal. Your work and love for the art has made you so close and dear to our hearts. May your soul be in a much happier and peaceful place," 'Fidaa', 'Love Story' actress Sai Pallavi tweeted.
