RIP Saeed Jaffrey

You stood your own, carving a niche pitted against the legendary Sanjeev Kumar in SATRANJ KI KHILADI (The Chess Player), a rare Hindi movie produced by another equally talented Satyajit Ray. Anupam Kher, the recipient of the famous "THAPPAD KI GOONJ" (resonance of slap) from Dillip Kumar in KARMA made this phrase a household name and you continued that tradition.

Your THAPPAD KI GOONJ to the swindler, again played by Anupam Kher, who schemes to get his wayward son married to you daughter in DIL (Heart) still resonates with many from my generation. RIP, SAEED JAFFREY. You have become silent, but your shrill will speak volumes, resonating forever for ages to come.
