Actor Rishi Kapoor, Saeed Jaffrey's co-star in films like Henna, Ajooba and Saagar, also tweeted: "R I P. My friend, my colleague of several films"

Saeed Jaffrey's introduction to showbiz was on the stage. As a young actor in Delhi, he ran a theatre company named Unity Theatre. He was the first Indian actor to tour America with his theatre company, performing Shakespeare. At home, Mr Jaffrey struck a balance between critically acclaimed films and mainstream Bollywood
