India is mourning the loss of a great soul, and several celebrities have paid homage on the social media.
So sad to hear about the Gurdaspur terror attack & now the news of Dr. Kalam's demise. May Allah bring peace upon all.

I was one of the lucky ones to receive my PadamaShri from Dr. Kalam. He made it extra special for me. He will always remain my inspiration. — Anupam Kher (@AnupamPkher) July 27, 2015
