Congress President Rahul Gandhi Tuesday condoled the demise of Bollywood actor and writer Kader Khan, who passed away in Canada after prolonged illness.
Khan, 81, died at a hospital in Canada on Monday.
"I am sorry to hear about the demise of noted actor Kader Khan Ji. I offer my deepest condolences to his family, friends and fans all around the world," Gandhi said.
"We will miss him," the Congress chief said in a Facebook post.
Born in Kabul, Khan made his acting debut in 1973 with Rajesh Khanna's "Daag" and featured in over 300 films.
