The year 2011 has been terrible for Bollywood and many are still reeling under the shock, as they send wishes for their legend who lived life to the fullest

Many say that with the passing away of Dev saab, an era has passed, leaving behind a void that will be impossible to fill and a legacy that Indian cinema will be proud about. The condolences are still pouring in and we can surely say that he has been an inspiration to not only those who are directly related to Bollywood but also those in who Dev saab imbued the joie-de-vivre like none other.
