Many B-town celebs are mourning the death of cartoonist R K Laxman (93), who died of multi-organ failure at a hospital in Pune on Monday.
Celebs like Amitabh Bachchan Anupam Kher, Anil Kapoor and Ameesha Patel, among others paid tributes to the "Common Man" fame artist, who will be cremated on Tuesday.
Earlier, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also mentioned that India will miss the legendary artist and thanked him for bringing a smile on the faces of people by adding the much-needed humour in their lives.
Born in 1921, Laxman was a renowned Indian writer R K Narayan's youngest brother and had also received India's second-highest civilian honour Padma Vibhushan in 2005.
