Mourning the death of Neeraj Vora, Aamir Khan remembered the writer-director-actor as someone who carried laughter with him.
Aamir played the lead role in "Rangeela", which was written by Vora, who passed away today after being in coma for over a year. He was 54.
"Neeraj was a close friend, a collaborator, a vibrant force of life. His tragic illness and then demise is a loss not only to those close to him but also to the creative world," Aamir, 52, said in a statement.
The actor said it is hard to believe that Vora is no more.
"His sense of humour will be missed sorely. Laughter travelled with him. Even as I am writing this, I cannot believe that he is not with us anymore. Thank you Neeraj for all the joy you brought to my life. I will miss you. My heartfelt condolences all in his family," he said.
