Anupam Kher, who shared a deep friendship with Pritish Nandy, paid tribute to him on social media by sharing his post and writing, “Deeply saddened and shocked...What a poet, writer, filmmaker and journalist, editor! He was my rock and pillar of support in my early days in Mumbai. We had a lot in common and he is one of the strongest personalities that I have ever known. Off late we didn't meet much. But there was a time when we were inseparable! A fantastic cover on Filmfare, cover on The Illustrad Weekly and wore the title of ‘Yaaron Ka Yaar’. ”
